[N8 v2.0]

Nothing much going on the exterior but the interior has been trimmed and the cabinets installed and now it"s being painted.

This house has been sold the the colors are what the customer wants. I think it will be great with the furniture and accessories.

The main color is a beige with a blue and a green accent wall. The alder wood cab's are stained with a 'warm chestnut' stain.

Starting on a house on a golf course that has close to a 1000_sf garage... it features dual 18' garage doors...

lucky bastid!

You ever do an Option ARM on your properties?

No... i dont finance them... buyers have to find their own lending company.

 

[N8 v2.0]

Fini!!!

 

[N8 v2.0]

Now working on Casa de Mondo Garage

Featuring dual 18' garage doors.... just think of the bike/kakak/gear storage! This is a side shot showing the 45' header that spans the garage door openings.

Very cool N8

Very cool N8

framing pix are about 7 days old... the house is now decked and most of the interior ceilings are finished now...

this house sits on 1.2 acres of upscale golf course property that the owner bought for $45k. The build will be around $350k... appraised retail value $475k for 3200_sf of conditioned space.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Is this a bigger house than you normally build?

 

[Plummit]

I'm always amazed by how inexpensively you can build in some other parts of the country....

 

[Brian HCM#1]

That house here in Northern California on 1.2 acres would sell for between $1.5M-$2M

 

[Quo Fan]

1000 sf garage is almost the same amount of living space I have!

it is lately anyway

 

[loco-gringo]

I hate to compliment you, but the finished pic is cool, and I wait, eagerly, on the completion of Casa Golf Ball.

 

[bizutch]

Fini!!!

OH snap! A walk through granite bar!!!

 

[N8 v2.0]

OH snap! A walk through granite bar!!!

 

[bizutch]

oh dammit...it looked like the bar at Cheers from the other angle.

Now that would have been a cool...yet semi-useless feature.

 

[strangeland2]

Casa de Golf Ball needs some big ole picture windows so the golfers have bigger targets to aim for.

[loco-gringo]

I know people don't expect much in LA, but I would f'n kill if I had to live in a house with that shade of yellow on it.

 

[N8 v2.0]

Gold course house continues... this one has a lot of energy efficient items in it...

For the roof decking i used my standard rediant foil backed OSB, the build uses low E windows, 16 SEER/2-speed compressor/variable speed drive AC units, and blown-in cellulose (ground-up newspaper) insulation which has nearly a 100% fill....

 

[stosh]

We're nearing completion.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Damn. That's a nice ass house.

 

[stosh]

Damn. That's a nice ass house.

Now I need to pick out interior colors. God knows I won't be asking N8 for colors thats for sure.

 

[bizutch]

two questions I'm confused about:

1. The blown in cellulose. That's what my contractor put in my ceiling. But it's crumbly and doesn't bond to anything. Is that a different form that is tacky and won't pack down over time?

2. The Waco booth. What's up in that turret room? Long range rifle and tripod?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Damn. That's a nice ass house.

Looking real nice, stosh!

 

[stosh]

Looking real nice, stosh!

It's been a long road but it's nice to be getting so close. When the b-room is done/ master bath are done I'll send some more pics.

 

[stosh]

Anybody know where Nate is?

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Is this your house Stosh?

 

[Westy]

Is this your house Stosh?

A little number like that only runs a few hundred thou or so in NY.

 

[loco-gringo]

Anybody know where Nate is?

Why would you do that??? Har-de-har-har

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I hope this isn't the main entry, if so the architect should never be allowed to draw another house again.

You're an idiot.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

You're an idiot.

Dude, for a house of that nature, it's really bad.

 

[bean]

We're nearing completion.

Maybe it's the angle or maybe it's because it's only partially completed, but the whole thing is kind of awkward looking to me. It's a big jumble rather than a single cohesive building.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

The entry looks like a shack, and someone decided to make a huge addition to it.

 

[douglas]

kindof looks like it should be at the bootom of a small ski mtn, one area/spot for ski&board rentals, one's food, and the other is a big bathroom/locker room.

 

[SkaredShtles]

You're an idiot.

Well, he *did* ask if it was YOUR house.

 

[stosh]

Why would you do that??? Har-de-har-har

Did something happen? If so PM me because I have no idea.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I hope this isn't the main entry, if so the architect should never be allowed to draw another house again.

You prefer entryways such as this?

 

[stosh]

Dude, for a house of that nature, it's really bad.

You do realize we're putting columns in and trimming everything out right?

 

[stosh]

You prefer entryways such as this?

Thats so funny because that was the first thing that popped into my head as well. Or at least an entry similar to that.
