Not so bad. 

My Exact weekend too! Peace

What normally was a 2-3 weeks MAX time to receive special order products now takes 10-12 weeks. And what used to be STOCK items are No Longer available. That's the Overhead Door and Dock Equipment Industry. Our Parts Order Board is filled with work orders. Waiting on Material. Not to mention the cost of the material. That is skyrocketing out of control. I've already ordered my Garage Doors for the Dream Home Build due to the rising cost of steel and glass! Peace

When the wives get involved with money it gets ugly.  

So True Robert L. Peace

MONEY!! Everyone has to talk money when Building a Dream Home. The point being, when the project was guesstimated we (my builder) bid HIGH. Our financial NAZI said....."Don't come back asking for more" That was before the CRAZY prices and availability hit the markets. Lumber packages! Electrical Wiring etc etc etc....Remind you, the builder we chose I met on the golf course. We know the same people. Everyone I know who knows this man says he's a great guy, builds a great home. It turns out over the past 2 years he is exactly that. Also, I've always said, if I'm going to spend the money give it to a friend. Why support strangers families? Of course, there are some friends I wouldn't want to participate (We all have them). Builder and I met this morning to finalize our Window Package (Thanks SYBIZ) BTW......There are some very talented people on this site who know their shiit! You were huge help! Appreciate you stepping up and leading me thru the process. There are a million options in windows, sure makes the decision much easier with knowledge behind your choices. back to the MONEY! There hasn't been a single draw from this project yet. And since so many things have changed, we need to discuss finances. Were you a Cost (+20%) or a fixed Cost? Is it fair when the lumber package increases $50,000.00 does the builder deserve the extra $10,000.00? See where i'm going with this? One of the things you learn about people and their character is talk MONEY with them. You will know the difference between a money grubbing HO and an honest legitimate person. A nickel and dimer or a person who just wants to do people right. When you do people right, the money will be there! Another reason why we needed to discuss MONEY, his wife handles the business side of the company. And with the little amount of time i've spent with her, it's been a bad gut feeling internally for me. Like she's out to screw us for every dime in this project. A Completely different feeling when i'm dealing with him. I'm not the guy to break off a friendship and business relationship, but I can see where his wife could cause that to happen. I started out the conversation letting him know, "We Want YOUR COMPANY To Get the Amount Needed in This Build!" And then HELP US in every other category. Please let your wife know, we're not trying to screw YOU out of any MONEY! This guys been building homes for 30 years. Don't think he's been married to this woman 30 years. And did I mention I don't play golf with her either? She could be the dagger in the heart of the Dream Home Build. To make a long story short, he said exactly what I wanted to hear. Just like everyone told me about him. Great Guy totally fair man. Just like I thought of him too. They started out at a (Cost+20%). and with all the changes he said, We'll take the original number quoted and "CAP" it at an (18% Max) number. Everything over is out of our pocket. After the conversation was over, I'm comfortable with the decision made re: MONEY talk. And I had to throw in "Make sure and let your wife know!!" Peace

Sounds like my work is going to start asking for documentation of vaccine to not wear a mask.  Odd that I could have full blown AIDS, TB or any other deadly disease but apparently it wouldn't be an issue.

That sucks! Peace

Our design is a one bedroom house, With Two (2) living quarters attached. So when you're spending the weekend and need to get up in the middle of the night, you won't be running down our hallway. You have your own hallway! I'll get the floor plans on here when I learn how! 4 bedroom 1 bath, With girls?....Just shoot me! Peace 

I can see that happening to anyone! Peace

My buddy witnessed an attempt to steal the cash bag from a Home Depot in Euless, TX. The dude grabbed the bag of money and took off running. The guy gave chase and sprinted after him. He forgot about the Driver who "RAN HIM OVER"!! My friend was called into court to ID the guy charged. Classic. Peace

Rahm earned it! Peace

Entertaining Day! Peace
