An agreeement!

StinkerBell · August 01, 2007, 10:42:05 AM

Hubby and I finally came to an agreement on a house plan. It is my version of a farm house. Although it is not one from here (I have purchased a couple) I have no regrets of my purchase. I learned a great deal!

We are going with a 24 X40. As soon as I get it down on a computer program I will post it here for all to see. Plus any pointers would be good!

edit...I think this might be in the wrong forum, yet again! Please move if needed. Thanks

This forum is OK Stink. You can continue here with your project if you wish.

I would suggest that Hog sign the agreement with "UCC 1-207 Without Prejudice" before his signature, on this agreement in case he needs to fall back on his Constitutional Rights.

Just giving you a bad time. :-/

Whatever you decide is fine with us. You are part of the group and we are here to serve.

I need to send off for another copy of building code information sent by Stevens county... seems last one got thrown out.

Anyone remember how steep staircase can be in Washington?

glenn kangiser · August 04, 2007, 08:56:43 AM

Now Hog, quarters are a bit cramped and something has to be done with some of this clutter. :-/

Haven't found it yet but John posted some info on stairs.

Here's a tutorial for 3DHA on stairs with some good info -- but not what I was thinking of yet.

Looks nice, Hog.

NetHog · August 11, 2007, 02:24:18 AM

Stink's drawing up a new plan...

glenn kangiser · August 11, 2007, 09:55:27 AM

This should be interesting...

August 21, 2007, 10:26:13 AM

I decided I am to much of a chicken to build something two story's high. I am able to get up on my one level roof, but the second level roof at my current home is too high. Gotta go with a ground level and a basement.

ok where is the chicken emote?

glenn kangiser · August 21, 2007, 10:49:18 AM

Just takes a bit of getting used to, Stink.

StinkerBell · August 21, 2007, 10:52:32 AM

As soon as we get the Law of Gravity repealed, then and only then will i get up on a second story roof.

deertracks · August 24, 2007, 05:55:22 PM

When we checked, Stevens County had just implemented a new soil test
that had to be done for basements. Maybe it's no big deal, but
check with them just in case. We've found them easy to work with,
but we only have a crawl space.

StinkerBell · August 24, 2007, 08:00:52 PM

It is a soil test for Radon. Or I should say a test to see the level.

August 28, 2007, 05:14:44 PM

Hope it all goes smooth for you.
Another test to have to pay for!!!
That looks like a large house. How many sq. feet?

StinkerBell · August 28, 2007, 06:55:31 PM

36 x 36

With a full basement.

Why are they worried about your radon when they have Hanford? :-?

Quote56 million gallons of radioactive waste stored in 177 underground tanks, sixty-eight of which leak. 2,300 tons of spent nuclear fuel sitting in (and sometimes leaking from) two pools only a few hundred feet from the Columbia River. 120 square miles of contaminated ground water. 25 tons of plutonium that must be disposed of and kept under constant armed guard.

And, that is what remains at Hanford after over 7 years of the most intensive environmental cleanup project in history. How did this happen?

Just wondrin'

Glenn you are a wet towel.

glenn kangiser · August 28, 2007, 10:13:00 PM

Sorry Stink, I just wanted to make you feel like your little problem wasn't so bad.

...and highlight the hypocrisy of the ruling class.

StinkerBell · August 28, 2007, 10:17:04 PM

JURY DUTY IN LESS THEN 12 HOURS...........

I decided to pick my nose, I am going to spend the whole day just picking it. I hope everyone see's me.

August 28, 2007, 10:20:31 PM

That's real nice, Stink. I hope the chairs have cloth upholstered armrests for your sake.

...don't forget to post pix.

I did my civic duty today. Went to the County Supervisors meeting to put in a good word for our Historic Cinema and non-profit educational theater.

Some local right wingers decided it would be cool to use dirty politics to try to shut it down. It would have destroyed 11 years of a good man and associates work plus likely destroyed the restoration of a hundred year plus old building. Government and politics suck.

We prevailed BTW.

They used the building inspector to change occupancy, dirty reporting in the local dirty rag newspaper and whatever they could to try to destroy it. I'm PWP.
