I have been growing Salad vegetables hydroponically for quite some time in Ebb-Flow systems and passive wick systems,my plan this year is to design my own NFT system and to compare the plant growth in all the above systems. I will use same environmental factors as well as the nutrient solution, and growing medium in my experiments. Hydroponics is a facinating field of growing plants, and I became obsessed of it. It is a great scientific hobby and can become a commercial success.

Welcome! Your inspiration pictures are very similar to what I'm envisioning for our house too. Good luck! :)

Are you sure the homes they used were actually comparable, specifically in the area of the acreage included? A 2400 sq ft home on a half-acre lot does NOT have the same value as the same home on 6 acres. Also, they are not supposed to use short sales as comparables - but if the sales were merely at a loss and not a short sale there is little you can do. But that an owner found it necessary to sell at a loss says something about the market, and home values, where you plan to build. A house is only really worth what somebody else will pay for it, no matter how much it cost to build. I'd suggest trying to get a new assessment from a non-bank affiliated assessor, if you can. Banks don't want to either loan money or give a high valuation on homes these days. They fear further erosion in property values, and their concern is justified. It may well be that you bought land at an inflated pre-2008 price, and now you will have to accept the loss in land value reflected in the value of the finished home. My husband wants to know how long you intend to remain in this home. He's right to ask. If this is your permanent home, a lower assessment is a good thing tax-wise. If you have plans to sell and turn a profit, think again. Homes are no longer "investments" that will appreciate in value at an outrageous pace. They will appreciate at the much lower historic rate, if at all.

My new master bedroom is a dark room and in order to bring more light into the room I painted it a silver blue. SW Misty # 6232. I had BM custom mix it. Here is a blurred photo of it. I plan on accesorizing with silvers, glass, white and a touch of black. This color has a very high light rendering value of 63%.
