sherpa Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 For what it's worth, which is probably nothing, we have had our last three houses built. New construction. I am an energy geek and follow the industry and technology closely. Our last house had geothermal. Loved it. The pricing eliminated that consideration on the one we live in now. Prices for geothermal in no way are justified. This house is perfect for solar. We have a three car garage roof that faces true south. I had the roof of the garage framed to handle solar, which I wanted to have the option to do later on when efficiencies made sense. They still don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Billstime doesn't mind a temp thread diversion but...how much more did your houses come in than quoted. I hear 150% is expected. ridiculous and that's from the contractors quote. I hope businesses get better service than single home builders. Edited August 5, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) btw, in reference to the actual thread; my buddy says he's on track for his best year in over a decade. Recovery is unequal and staggered. It's just the way it is...somethings will never change Edited August 5, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our's were about 15% higher than the original bid, but that was our doing. It is not realistic to guess at a figure, because it depends on so many variable. This house, I was travelling to South America the entire time, so I had arranged for all the hardwood flooring and interior doors to be imported from there. The original bid had standard US supplied oak flooring and hollow core doors, but I had that stuff shipped up, so maybe I'm not the guy to ask. Additionally, I did a fair amount of work myself, intercoms. sound and ceiling fans etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct but the money came from the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill that Conald signed into law. Conald ALSO fired Glenn Fine - the leader of a new watchdog panel charged with overseeing how his administration spends trillions of taxpayer dollars in coronavirus pandemic relief What a coincidence! 15 minutes ago, TSOL said: I don't know what kind of democracy allows the leader to call off elections Oh, this cute. Are you like 12-years-old? Why did they postpone their election? Is there something going on over there?
