I'll have my own place soon and I'm still stoked, doubt I will sleep good for the rest of the week! The underpants knomes will not be staying! very nice JJ , can imagine that there won´t be a lot of time to sleep for the rest of week, it looks solid built and you´ve enought space and rooms to spend a comfy life in the new house. Good luck with it !!! Don´t take them away JJ , these are the best security guys you can get . Nobody in the world will step on your property 😁 and you´ll know what´s below the stone 🤣 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked on over 1400 new houses. I've never seen an overhead power supply go to a house, they are all buried. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Looks comfy, John. Dave sez he will clear the leaves from the drive. You would have to reach really hard to complain about our weather today. 80`, a little light overcast and a little air moving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pull up a 5 gallon bucket, take a break and watch though. Breaded eel for lunch @JohnJ? 😂 Kinda stingy on that slaw. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 @grasshopper all those trees in the background you won't even SEE the house next spring. They'll allllllll blow down hill. He just didn't think of that yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Yes they are. The fish is tasty and in that slaw the carrots are a little sweet and it's got vinegar in it so it goes great with the fish. But what do you expect for ten bucks! It's pretty good for that price. And I swear Leslie West is jamming over the overhead speakers right now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Only been 11 hours since I got up but I tell you what I'm tired. Agreeing to spend all that money wore me out, the survey will be done within 10 days. Mid-grade paint at Sherwin-Williams is 80 freaking dollars a gallon if I buy 5 gallon bucket the girl in there told me they'll give me a dollar off each gallon if I buy 5 gallon bucket. Fa, fa, fa, fagetaboutit Sherwin Williams. I found a place to get Benjamin Moore so I will use the best paint ever made for less than your charging and you can cancel my account. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our whole neighborhood goes with poles down the street and then strung over to each house. All in the air. These were done in the '60s. Our houses in Wisconsin were done the same. Bad drivers took out the power all the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 On poles is how it was done in the neighborhood I grew up in that was built in 1960. Things are a little different up here because I've seen that tightly pulled texture on the walls inside my insurance companies office also. So this place built into the side of the mountain in 1992 is done just a little bit differently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 On the Carolina coast Hurricanes love overhead lines. Take em down as fast as possible. Ice storms though rare do the same. If I was to build another house it would have a whole house generator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
