^^^ Thanks

meeting up the wifey for lunch and will transfer some pix over and post em up....the framing is almost done....will snap some interior pix when we go to see the house today

 

$725 for that is out of this fucking world


You're sure you're builder doesn't allow you to hire outside contractors to do certain work like this if you're really interested in doing it? Some things you obviously can't do this with when dealing with a builder (like framing or electric), but this is different. No way in hell I'd pay that.

 

Yeah, it's not like THEY own the land. How can they stop the homeowner from bringing someone else in to do something as long as they're not there at the same time and getting in the way, or creating more work for the builder. On the fllp side they could say I won't warranty this badboy unless it's ALL BUILT BY ME.

 

Scott, Jeremy is right....he is not allowing me to bring an outside contractor....he says "that will void the warranty"

I found a guy who does great tiling work and basement work...that dude is not only quick but he also is very cheap and offers satisfaction guarantee....I asked the builder if I could have the basement done from this guy while they were framing the upstairs and doing electricals....he told me "go for it, but this will void warranty....and if anything messes up in the house of if things go missing, I will be liable for it"

At that point I just dropped the idea and thought that I will get it done later

 

time for some pix?

Framing is done. Its been done since 2 days....here is as she stands:

Day 23: Next Stage begins tomorrow 08/21/12




I tried taking some interior shots but they came out horrible...I will be trying more later today....

 

very nice swoosh........dont take interior shots, you need us with our beers in the picture!

 

Anil...I decided that house will be mine. You can buy another one down the block or something. Sorry buddy.

 

hahah...how about scotch in that case ?

hahha....Thanks for the kind words buddy....

 

They're not kind words...I basically told you to GTFO of my new house motherfkr!!!!!

 

^^^

sure i will, once you cut me a check for the asking price

 

There is always room for a Rockstar in KC, come on up J

Anil just want to say thanks for making me and Mel feel poor J/K or maybe

Mel has been keeping me posted on your build via FB. If I come down for FF tomm, you can swing me by there and take a peek.

 

hahah yeah make the guy who has 3 cars and looking for a newer mustang/xb (LOL) feel poor...right....

and dude you guys (includes all you mofo's here) are more than welcome anytime....just call me before you head over

i didnt know Saritha has been posting about the house on FB....i think Mel is being kept updated via text messaging....

and yeah lets do a "walk thro" tomorrow....

 

Anil...forget it, you can keep the house. I meant like...you pay for it, and I live there. That was all. Too much to ask among friends?

McCollins...you're the man...thanks. If I'm ever up that way...we shall all get together.

 

Johnnie Walker Blue!!!! We'll all be wasted in no time! lol

 

so you mean i will pay the mortgage and you wanna rent a room in there?

cool....your in

 

gotta love BLUE...smooth as fuck...and it better be at 200+ for a bottle....

the first time i tasted that was at a friends party and I was like damn....i bought a bottle and took it for my dad and now we both are hooked to it....

since 200 a bottle was expensive for scotch, I decided to try Glenfiddich 15/18 years....they come in at 60-70 bucks a bottle and are awesome....try Glenlivet as well....that is decent scotch as well...

 

I see what you did there, fucking Xb's I detailed Jessicas Xb yesterday, was a pain. Ya I think Saritha has been texting her, not on FB. I only half listen to what m'lady says.

 

Jessica? do i know her?

haha yeah I have been half listening to my girl and its not working out for me that well....imma go back to listening to what she says

 

Jessica from Brian and Jessica??? LOL

 

^^^ ahhh ok...my bad....she is hella cool....

and she has an XB? i guess you will be bringing that to the national meet next year LOL

 

It's the only way to win something

 

Damn Anil-that baby is going up FAST!

 

yeah it is pricey, after half a cup im usually feeling the buzzzzzz. haven't tried Glenfiddich, will do when the budget permits.

 

^^^ Thanks Steve....

they are done with Framing in 22 days....its amazing how fast they work....I took some interior pix and waiting on Saritha to send em to me....

we were being consistent and took all the pix from her iphone LOL

 

it is a cheaper scotch but the quality is awesome...

 

I've been gone for a couple of days and see that the framing and the outside has gone up. WOW. They definitely work fast, Anil. I like it.

 

^^^ Thanks David....

 

Congrats on the wedding.

For you non-brown folks....wanna know why divorce is so low with Indians....

....we ain't doing that shit more than once.

 

the secret has been spilled LOL....

Thanks on the good wishes bro

 

^^^

Anytime.

My sis had a traditional Indian wedding with hundreds of people. I went for the simple small 7 minute wedding at a B&B. I liked my way better.

Is your girl Indian as well?

 

i am pretty happy about how am doing mine as well....nice and simple....have couple close family members and friends....

not like inviting the freaking town or some like that

 

some interior shots:

entry and dining


stairs


great room with fireplace, breakfast area and entry to the covered patio


kitchen with the 5th bedroom behind it...got a full bath and entry to the garage on the left (not in the pic)



will post some pix of the upper level tomorrow

 

Wow, it's really coming along. Did they say when they hope to be finished? I ask because it looks like it's ahead of schedule.

 

Ravi.

Anil that looks great. 5th bedroom?

 

What type of floors are you going with? Hard wood floors...

 

I second that question, but would like to know what type of wood?

Got wood Anil?

 

we are scheduled to get the house by december 6th...

i think there is still a lot to do, got electricals/HVAC/dry walls/painting/flooring/cabinetry/etc

yeah that was a small ass office and we bumped the wall to make it into a 5th bedroom....We plan on using it as a prayer room for now and when my parents move in with me later down the line they can have that room as they wont have to climb stairs and stuff

yessir...hardwood on the main level including the 5th bedroom and all closets/etc....carpet on the stairs, hardwood on the landing/upstairs corridor....carpet in the bedrooms upstairs....tile in all the baths

Rustic hickory is what we went with....its a pretty exotic wood but deals with stains very well and comes in a little darker shade....

oak was standard in couple areas but dont like that wood at all....rustic oak was an upgrade but its still oak....

rustic maple was a great option but slightly more expensive than rustic hickory and that wood gets messed up by stains and it "soft" (if you will) and gets damaged pretty easy....hence Rustic hickory seemed like the "better" choice....

all that is my wife's theory

 

Anil, are they bringing the wood through the back door?



See what I did there??



Fuck, Im tired.

 

^^^

i had something funny to say but that will reveal a lot of secrets
