Tough crowd!

yeah but your house doesn't have to show it!!!

One of my LARGEST complaints about houses these days if they have NO front door.

Plus I would have saved and not used brick and spent the money on a good architect.

 

[jacksonpt]

nice... I like the arch thing - I assume that between the kitchen and dining/family/room?

If I had to do it over again, I'd build in more architectural interest.

 

[stosh]

The picture that shows all the sound batt insulation, what is that finish wood around the top for?

Saved and 'not used brick' do not go together son...

That's not finish wood.. its good ol' #2. That makes a recessed cove in the master bedroom ceiling for some rope lighting.

Arches will feature bullnosed corners on the sheetrock.

No trees on the lot? I don't think I could live in a house that didn't have some good shade trees. My biggest complain about my house now is being build on a hill that slopes down to the south I have no really large trees that can provide full shade to the house in the summer time.

um, cool

All the colored wires are the AV/Network cables.

precisely. you don't have to devote ~40% of yr front house profile to a garage. or at least you shouldn't.

N8, that post you made a while back about Dwell made me search out a couple of issues. it's got a lot of ideas which i like. the cut-n-paste housing designs of today leave a lot to be desired.

I agree with you but the cost of those homes is crazy! I'd love to do away with the 9 in 12 pitches on these roofs... it makes for a huge attic space but wastes a ton of lumber.

ah, cool... nice touch.

Funny to see a house built on a slab.

It's also funny see wires on lights like that.

Well this subdivision is in a huge cotton field... so no trees.

Thanks to the architectual review committee for the subdiv...

 

[stosh]

Just to let you know N8, arched door ways, brick facades, and funky wall colors do not make a house nice.
They are cheap and easy ways to sell dumb Americans.

 

[N8 v2.0]

This is the 25th house I've built since 1999.

Yet another reason why I would rather stab myself in the eye then live in the a Subdivision.

Sounds like good ole communisim.

Cha-Ching!!!

Cha-Ching!!!

It's such a shame... it really is.

you couldn't pay me enough money to live in louisiana. i'm glad you are enjoying it and are successful, though.

 

[stosh]

The cheapness of the above posted lights is such a great example of the quality of the design of the above homes.

Why would you even spend a penny on thoes lights so you can feel like you have a super clean look and then they have $.0001/ft electrical wire hanging down right next to the suspension cable?

Every sale results in more $'s in the 'move to NM/CO fund'...

I donno... it was how they were made and the home owner loves them.

 

[narlus]

don't be a slave to the $ though. what's yr self-imposed fundraising goal, and how far away are you?

ha, but even still!!!

5-6 years out...

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Lol, $190k

 

[stosh]

and thats why they loved the ugly poor designed home.

 

[stosh]

You could probably buy the subdivision for what you paid for your home.

How about you put your money where your opinion is and fund a spec house and see how it goes?

 

[narlus]

brian, when's yr closing date?
