'morning all. Wiring Cat5e and speaker wire into my house this weekend :D

I know, I'm a dork. But I'm a dork who's going to be living in a custom house, and I'll be damned if any custom house built for me gets built without ethernet :p

Would someone please explain to S.S. that jokes aren't funny when they're beaten into the ground, set ablaze, buried, and then dug up again? :bonk:
I dunno....I found it kinda funny. :brow:

I have a tiny house, but you'd be amazed at how much wire is needed to "hide" everything.

Nothing too much of interest going on with me today. The wife and I are meeting with the bank today to see what we're pre-approved for on a home loan. I've been working super-hard to increase my credit rating the last two years, and it's starting to really show. I'm now mid-700's and should be in the clear for a good rate. Wish us luck!!

Morning all!

I personally am sick of the jokes about my house... it's the one thing I am really excited about, and it's starting to piss me off. How many of you morons had a custom-built house at 24? :(

Anyway, on a better note... looks like it's going to be a good day at work, and I get to pick out my countertops, carpet, and flooring tonight! Then it's off for a little shopping and home for the weekend. 80 and sunny... woohoo! Enjoy everyone! :D

Meh.....don't sweat it, Jen. They only tease because they love. Your house looks great, and you should be really proud of it. I hope I get invited to the housewarming party......:cheers:

Very cool, is your house "custom" though? I always considered a "custom" house a house you sat down with an architect and designed. A "Semi custom" custom home is a glorified tract house in which you can pick the elevation, siding, roofing material, and a tract house which the builder just builds to his specs, however you still get to pick out the flooring, counter tops, cabinets, fixtures, wiring (stereo, cat, cable) etc.

Oh... sorry... it's not uber-custom... only "semi"... We chose a Donald Gardner floorplan we liked, and made our own modifications. We get to choose all of the above stuff you mentioned.

P.S. Is there really a need to be so nit-picky? BV- I vote we no longer bring up the house on RM. Geesh.

I figured custom meant you had a mean flame paint job, 20" chrome spinner wheels and straight pipes.

Lighten up guys, your place will be nicer than my hovel.

Played in a golf tournament yesterday - first time out in over a year. I hit some good ones (see my other thread) and some not so good ones. Had a good time.

Not much on for today, or the weekend. Some time with the kids, some cleaning... the norm.
