ML lives in PA.


36 acres isn't that big for areas in the midwest.........but again.......I don't even have an acre, so it is huge to me!!



I bet by dismantling that house you'll find a lot of copper wiring and piping.

That shit is worth some coin.

Update:

we offered our low

seller has already countered at our high!

I think this deal might go through and in our budget!!!!

We are counering their offer...

Too bad that house is in such disrepair, old buildings are awesome and have so much history in them.

Take pictures before you take it down!

Good luck. Keep in mind that, in many jurisdictions, it's actually illegal to kill your contractor.

As a contractor I find it laughable that people insist on taking the absolute bare bones lowest bid and then get upset that they ended up with a shitty contractor.

Its like going into a restaurant and demanding that you get the absolute lowest price on the meal and then pregnant doging that you got a hot dog and soda instead of a seven course meal of classic French cooking.

It takes basic addition to find out if your contractor is screwing you. A thorough check of his references and visits to jobs he has completed that are similar to yours should let you know it he is qualified. YOU can dictate the way billing handled as well. If you want an up to the minute Cost Break Down with every progress billing your contractor should be able to provide that for you.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go remove all of that expensive copper flashing and replace it with galvanized.

On both my parents' large new house and our extensive kitchen remodel, the projects came in under budget and were completed faster than planned. Everything was the way it was supposed to be, too. On the other hand, we're in a small town and knew the people we were working with. It's often different with, say, tract housing or dense developments where things are going up in a great hurry.

ML, i dont think you should sell the old house short...

unless its nothing like what you want in a house, you should look into renovating it.

[Monsterlover]

It's not really what we want in a house.

We could add on, yes. But it's still not where we'd want a house.

It's right on the road (dirt) and we'd never be able to open our windows and keep the dust out.

We will use as much of the original material as we can though.

Also, we have made our counter and drawn the line.

Have a pet?  Cross their toes for me!

Good luck ML!

Can't wait to try out the new dirt track!
