Re: House Projects
Sounds like a good choice in exterior. If your looking for gutters or have any questions on them PM me. The color Shell is a stock item for gutters the Sandalwood is a slightly off color to match but should be able to get real close. I would advise to make sure the roofers use proper Drip/D edge vs the ever so common siders edge which is worthless. Also might be worth checking into the hail/impact resistant shingles for an insurance discount; vinyl siding will cost slightly more for insurance as well.

We were going to get the package of all new appliances but we were able to find scratch-and-dents with no obvious imperfections (we only noticed the imperfections after 4 weeks of owning them) for a only a slightly higher price; our dishwasher was the only new piece. That also meant we could upgrade to the French-Door fridge and double oven without hassle or useless upcharge. |
Re: House Projects
Brandon, I know you've decided on plans already, but I stumbled across this online and figured it might be worth a look:

Re: House Projects

We have a dirt hole!
Also picked out a whole bunch of other stuff today. Carpet (the middle one), different carpet for the sunroom, Master Bath Tile, laminate counter tops for the kitchen, interior wall paint (light beige), we also switched the exterior paint to 1 shade darker beige. We are pretty excited!! Apparently one neighbor came out yelling at the excavator about removing some of the trees they had to remove, saying he didn't want those removed. So our builder had to have a nice talk with the neighbor telling him sorry but it's not his lot, lol. |
Re: House Projects

Re: House Projects
Anyone visit any of the parade of homes this weekend? I went to a few in Edina/Tonka/Plymouth to get some ideas. Always nice to visit some 1.8mill homes that I will never be able to afford.

We went to about 20 houses this weekend in the parade. The $2m home in Chanhassen was unreal! I think we might steal their idea of putting a huge viewing window in the theater room, so people can watch even when they aren't in the room, the can pull up a barstool and sit at the viewing window at the bartop.
Here's pics of it. |
Re: House Projects
For 2 million bills, that house seems small!
Brandon why did they remove any trees at all? They seemed plenty far away from the house... Id spare all trees, since Blaine seems to have a shortage. |
Re: House Projects
Some trees were removed because they were where the garage will be. They are keeping as many as possible.

Re: House Projects
aly and I stayed at a 2 of her aunt and uncles homes over the years watching there dogs. One was in deephaven they sold it for 3mill the other was a home was also in that area they sold that one for 5mill. I did not want to leave that one.
The 5mill house had a master bath that had a shower room 10x10 lol. The basement had 5 42in tv's and a 80in tv in the center with the others on the top and sides. They moved all there stuff down to there home in HI after they sold the the last home. |
Re: House Projects
Sounds like you're gonna have at least one awesome neighbor Brandon. Haha

Re: House Projects
One of these days I'll have to go check out the parade of homes. Since I just bought a house last August, I plan to refinish my garage. I'm planning to paint the floors and walls in the garage. Also planning on building my own work bench. No pictures other than the MR2 and all of my junk in there. I need to get the DSM over as well. It's still sitting at my parents house.

Re: House Projects
So how close are you going to be to me Brandon? Is that just south of Brown's old place?
|
Re: House Projects
Jet, we will be basically right off Lexington and 109th. So maybe 5min south of you?

Small update. They started digging last Monday, had the footings poured that Tuesday. Work stopped for the rest of the week, I'm thinking maybe they were letting the concrete cure. Started back up this Monday, they have most of the walls poured. I'd assume they'll let these cure for a few days as well but no idea really.
All flooring/countertops/interior paint/tile/etc are all picked out. Moved onto lighting. The lady at the recommended lighting place sucked. I think 90% of our lighting is going to end up from Menards. But going to get a couple nicer fixtures for the main level/entrance area. Picked up matching lights for over the dining room table, and over the island. Purchased all the appliances from the Sears Appliance store in Maple Grove. They beat everyones prices hands down. Ended up with the Frigidaire Gallery set. |
Re: House Projects
Looks like I will be moving to the Blaine/Lino Lakes kind of area in the next month or two also, I just got a job offer from the Lino Lakes Correction facility today. First day is April 11th and Our current lease ends May 31st. Mucho Excite!
