Let's play a new game called...What IS that?
Comments (23)OOO ooo oo, I guess it's some sort of way-to-big ant mound? I've seen that picture (one similar) on one of these forums and was amazed at what critter built it. Ah, Sherry! I was being slow and just understood your answer. Okay, I change my answer from ant mound to the same as Sherry's--"mother earth" Haaaa, LOL!

Comments (25)SE - I will definitely enjoy the garage and now I can enjoy the basement too, since we will store all our crap in the garage. coldnose - our home is 2025 sqft + about another 800 in walk-out basement. My experience with the panelized package is both good and only OK. Good - lumber was awesome awesome quality. Got the package from farwesthomes, who own their own mill. I have some large beams and posts. Walls went up fast and were square. We had a gable wall (31' peek) with picture windows that went up in a day, my carpenters said it would have taken them over a week to stick build. Lots of left over lumber from packaging (and miscommunication about walkout basement). Price was with-in 10K of other lumber yard quotes (Meeks, 84, Moss Lumber). Able to make custom plans, change their stock plans, use stock plans. The only OK - Still have to stick build floors. not huge deal. Had two miss cuts in posts where beams were to slide in. We fixed it fairly simple, but it took a few hours of head scratching. Had to get engineering separately and then have farwest build plans. Some miss communication between engineer and farwest. It would have been nice if they had an in-house engineer. I was/am not happy with my engineer. Roof rafters suck. Took a month to stick frame the roof. Mislead on difficulty of the whole thing. We were told it would be about 6 weeks to get the whole thing shelled-in. Perhaps with a crew of 10, it took us over double that with a crew of 3-4. No room for play. The walls come square, if your foundation is a little off, you cannot "fudge" the walls. Lay-out (16" on center) gets screwed up do to how the panels fit together. Not a huge deal, but slows you down during siding. All in all, i am happy with it. If I ever do this again, I may or may not use it again. Definitely not pissed or stoked about the whole thing. I am about due for more pictures. We just had a framing pre-inspection today (we were not ready with elect or fire sprinklers). She could not find one thing wrong and was really impressed. We are wrapping up elect on friday and sprinklers go in over the weekend. We will get framing, plumbing, elect inspection on monday. Insulation next week and then sheetrock end of next week and weekend. 12 hour days are getting old. I start summer school on monday. that should be fun....See MoreMy Afternoon Project for the Boys
Comments (11)rjinga - funny - I like that last pic too and yet I kept thinking 'Ooooyyyy! I have to add repainting the back door to my list of things to do'. But secretly I like it chippy. It's well used from kids and dogs running in and out and being banged around and kicked. It has also served as the target for a 9:30AM mud battle. Apparently it was the enemy ship. Hmmmm. dlm - the grass was a fleeting thought as I began spraying! I sort of wondered if DH would say anything but I knew that he wouldn't because he loves to see me get so excited about a project and just go for it. I apologized about the grass and he said 'It'll grow back green' and hugged me....See MoreLet's play: find me a Houzz kitchen picture that does NOT contain...
Comments (53)Ok, I'm switching it up again. The name of this game is, Can you beat this? I was looking at glass cabinet door pics and this one comes up. I was so struck by these doors, I have never seen anything quite like these. Very unique. So with that, my eyes start taking in the rest of the pic, and then, I came to it. A GIANT bug, right there in the middle under the cabs. Why??? Who puts giant bugs in their kitchen? Looks like a, I dunno, beetle? tic?? Gross. LOL So, can you beat this? :)...See Morerredpenn
