building a house, cost?

jwbot's dream house

i want that house.

after doing the budget, mike and i could put a down payment on a house loan.

Lehaa

ok, my ex and I run a carpentry buisness adn my father in law is a builder.

Theeese prices that you have seen is usually just for the house, does not include excavation, soil tests etc, theese you need before they even start building the house, and can be quite expensive. The prices quoted are usually a very basic price with very cheap appliances. tiles, carpet, paint etc.

Display homes usually have the top of the range extras but they only quote the cheaper range with no extras.

The house you have chosen would be very expensive due to all the different roof lines.

Timber is a lot cheaper than brick.

Also heating this house would be quite expensive too as to all the high ceilings.

Go and see the display of that design too, rooms look large on a plan but in reality they are usually a lot smaller. Be aware too that things like beds etc are not normal size, they are smaller to make the room look biggger.

Now that I've gor all the reality out of the way. I really love the design of the house, its fantastic. I just love timber rustic kind of houses.

I'm sure that if you do all your home work properly and budget well you should be able to do it. Go for your dreams.

Would You Have Ever Let Your Child Die & Refuse A Blood Transfusion?

i'm sure that i would've, believing that jehovah god would be proud of me.

Lehaa

I used to write on any excursion forms that I would not allow my child to have a blood transfusion. I even made up a card for my child laminated and all. He cut it up about 2 days after I made it, he's only six.(smart kid)

Deep down I know I could have let him die. I feel that they were my beliefs, not my childs, why should I let him die enforcing my beliefs on a 6 year old child.

Protecting your kids

by Lehaa in

just saw a great news report on how to protect you kids from predators.. it all revolves around a code word.. you and your kids agree on one.

if someone different is to pick your kids up you give then the code word.

if they don't know the word then the kids know that you did not send them.

Lehaa

I'm paranoid about my kids being kidnapped. I know we can microchip our animals, wish we could our kids.

Thinking of getting their DNA taken and stored just in case they do they can be easily identified.

.hope everyone turns up.should have 150-200 people ..invitations have gone out..copious amounts of wine ordered..food bought..have got waitresses sorted out and just got to hope we're well received or we'll all be in the corners drinking and bereft of all our confidence.......i've invited all my local friends most of whom are school teachers or just lovely , so they might justcounteract a friend's over critical father and another's partner who's able to flatten your confidenceat 50 paces....can you tell ive hit the winealready?

lol im throwing them all a party to celebrate the end of this course and the start of the degree next sat so if its a disaster we'll jsut drown our sorrows there...and if we sell any we're all going on holiday together... i'll post if it was a total disaster...and *newsflash* reboot's gonna wear a skirt.....

Thought it was such a simple but great idea I just had to share.

Any one else out there got any other ideas as to how to keep our kids safe.

APOSTAPETS!!!

by ohiocowboy in

i thought it would be neat if we could see what each others canine, feline, avian, etc.companions look like.... .

here's my love, her name is chelsea, she is 9-1/2 years, and i have had her since she was 8 weeks old.

she is a golden lab mix, thus i affectionately call her "mutt butt" .

Lehaa

The only thing that keeps me from working in a place like that, is I easily become too attached, and could not deal with the euthanasia aspect of the job. There are so many unwanted animals. I wish I could take in every one that I see.....Animals deserve so much better.

I know what you mean I was the same before I started volunteering there. I get attatched to them too. I view i'm there helping them get new homes, i make them all pretty and train them a bit too become more appealing to new owners. I also take my son along, who is great with animals, so they get used to kids as well.The shelter I work at is really good and keeps an animal for as long as it takes to find them a new home.

I can't afford to have any more pets so I figure that this is my way to help all the unwanted animals in the world.

I also let a lot of people know I work there and a lot ahve rung me looking for a new pet so I help them go down and find what they are after.
