    FINALLY! We Just Bought Our New House.

    Its Offical. The Wife and I just fianlized the deal.
    FINALLY.

    Its to be built and be done by July.
    A real nice house on a hill. Having it customed.

    We still have to choose and pick which wood and counters and shit like that we wanna use so im sure we're gunna be nickled and dimed some 10-20k being the bastards they are but nevertheless im happy and now I can finally get back to work..

    This whole thing has taken up a lot of my time.
    A LOT. Glad its over what a headache. Over 6 months of bullshit.

    Im gunna go have some drinks and get drunk with the Mexicans tonight. They be building me a house.

      Ill probably be posting some questions to home owners as to what floors and cabinets to get.

      We were looking at hardwood cherry throughout.
      But does that look bad? Is it too dark? ANd Dark Grannite countertops.

      Too dark?

          These are cherry floors.
          Looks real nice we thought.

          This isnt our home, just a home with nice cherry.
          I think i like it.

              and we want our kitchen to look like this.
              That is cherry floors, cabinets, and and dark granite tops.


              Does it look nice?

                Hardwood Cherry is beautiful but prone to drying out, if it's well taken care of it will please you for many years to come. Granite countertops would be nice... they are only too dark if you make the rest of the room dark.. it's a nice contrast to put dark granite with light, airy walls, otherwise it looks too imposing. Check out a bunch of home design magazines n stuff, decorating resources, and see what you guys like best. The beautiful thing getting a house built is that you can pretty much do what you want and don't have to fix up someone else's ideas.. you can start from scratch. Congrats, Boneprone.

                  Congrats bone! I've been looking at some log homes myself lately. Nothing like a log home in the middle of 30 acres with a shotgun above the doorstep!

                            Its just a plot of land.

                            I can take a pic of some dirt, but it wont be intresting,

                              Yeah I like the cherry and black granite, and you are right if there are light walls white or off white it looks nice

                                Congrats on the new house, Boneprone! Understand that when they "It will be ready in July", they REALLY mean "September/October" ;)

                                Headless, I live in a little log cabin and I LOVE it! Even if I move, I'll build another one. It's small and it's a dovetail D-log. If I ever get out to wilderness out west, I'd love to build a handhewn one with those HUGE logs (no jokes from the peanut gallery). I have drywall interior walls so I can paint, but wood ceilings with exposed beams. When it rains on that tin roof, it's WAY cool

                                  Someone mentioned some other material other than granite to me.

                                  "Soap Stone" or somethin like that.
                                  Anyone hear of that?

                                    Boneprone - hire a professional designer. Growing up we built or gutted and rebuilt every house we ever lived in and my mother ALWAYS had a designer on hand. They REALLY help with selecting the right colors, materials, appliances, contractors, etc. NOT an interior decorator (though you can get one of those, too ), a designer works more with the nuts and bolts - like floors and countertops

                                        I hate to break it to you sweetie but you're going to get nicked for way more than 10 or 20k to get what you want...

                                        It's pretty easy to run up a 100k in upgrades real fast on things like stone, flooring and cabinetry --

                                              you were probably just in time to miss the coming interest rate hikes. Hope you locked in for a while?

                                                          Actually, my aunt and uncle have a log cabin, complete with outhouse! :-)

                                                          There are a few log cabin kits that you can get for about 14k.

                                                              I reccomend that you get http://www.americanhomeshield.com/home.jsp when you finish. It will be the best thing you've ever done. Everyone I tell about them thank me for the info.

                                                              I give you an example of how good AHS is. I purchased a house 3 years ago. Not the best house but it had walls. So a friend of mine told me about AHS. Oh my it was the best thing I've ever done. When I purchased the house it came with Washer/Dryer/6 burner stove, and a large refrigerator. Well seven months after I purchased the house the oven on the stove burnt out. With the price of stoves these days I was a little worried. It's the last thing I wanted to do was buy a new stove. So I called AHS, two days later a repair man came over. He told me the job is going to cost $280 but all I have to pay is $36 dollars. I couldn't believe it, that was great.

                                                              Then just eight months ago my washer died. No spincycle or nothing. I forgot all about AHS. My wife made the call and the repair guy came over. He said it was the first time he seen a pump on a Maytag die, and that it could not be replaced. I thought I was going to have to go out and buy a new washer. That day AHS called me up and asked me what type of washer I would like. I couldn't believe it two day's later AHS delivered me a new Maytag washer better and deeper than the one we owned. The bill for the new washer was $36 dollars.

                                                              I totally recommend them it's the greatest investment in home appliance insurance that you will ever make. http://www.americanhomeshield.com/home.jsp



                                                              And congrats on the new house.

                                                                                  Marble floors are nice also and not so prone to damage. If you get granite counter tops, chances are you can get granite or marble flooring to match. My new house in vegas has big 20 inch marble tiles thru half of it, looks very nice

                                                                                        We were looking at hardwood cherry throughout.
                                                                                        But does that look bad? Is it too dark? ANd Dark Grannite countertops.

                                                                                        Too dark?
                                                                                        BP, congrats on the new house. And welcome to your neverending upkeep.

                                                                                        My house was just completed (1500SqFt addition, pretty much new everything) so if you have any questions, hit me up.

On that side of the house, most of the wood I've used for furniture etc, is light... washed oak and light oak. The woods in the rest of the house are all dark cherry (I mean dark..not red red). When I repaint the main part of the house in the next year or so, I'm thinking of having the existing painted crown molding removed and replaced with finished cherry crown moldings to match the wood in the furniture.
