Beginning Stages--Need Advice
What do I do first? I have a plan that I have worked on for many, many years. Do I take that to a draftsman (or an architect)? Or do I find a builder first and then go through their draftsman? Do I find a lot first through a real estate agent or do I work on getting the lot after I have found a builder? Thank you!
I would definitely go with an architect. We started with a draftsman & I regret every minutes. If we had started with an architect, I believe we would already have started building. As it is, we are just finalizing our plans with the architect.
I would recommend finding the lot first. The land will dictate how the house will be orientated as well as dimensions.
Good Luck!
I know you're emotionally invested in a plan that you've worked so long on, but the first step I'd take would be to post it here for critique while I searched for an architect. Don't take the critique personally. :)
And not all plans are suited to all sites, so you need some input from the architect as to what type of site would be ideal for your ideas. Don't expect what you've worked on to be fully translatable exactly into something buildable without tweaking. But it will be a great starting point as a communication tool with a professional.
Oh, and the other place to start thinking about building is to make a realistic assessment of your finances. Pull your credit and see if any repairs are needed. Work on paying down your debt. Assess your savings and figure out how to get more. It takes a lot more cash on hand to build than buy. 40% down is a common requirement if you want to do an owner build. Custom builds start at around $150 for a basic home and go up from there. Plus land. Figure out if building is a realistic goal for you given the fact that it is so much more costly than buying existing. It's not for everyone.
It all depends on how ambitious you are about creating a well designed house. You would think everyone wants that but some homeowners are more easily pleased than others.
Whatever your ambitions a good design always begins with an analysis of the site. It can't hurt to have an architect selected and walk the site with him/her before buying it. I just did that recently and I advised my client to wait until a better site came on the market. Kind of regretting it now.
I agree that the lot will be the biggest indicator of what you can and can't do with a design. You may be able to incorporate some ideas that you already have, but they may not fit. Definitely don't send the plans to an architect before you get the lot. You would be paying for a bunch of unknowns and will most likely need a ton of changes.
A real estate agent who is used to new construction would be a good place to start. Look up land lots for sale, call the agents and see if you like one. That happened to us. Called about a lot that we ultimately didn't buy. But we liked the selling agent. So when we found a lot we liked we called her. She recommended a builder who gave us advice on the lot. We are using him to build now. Found our architect while visiting a newly constructed neighborhood. Found our Loan officer while visiting yet another new construction neighborhood.
Also wanted to say that not all custom homes cost $150. Mine and several others on here who are building high end are under that price. It will depend on your area.
Unless you have a specific house that you just MUST build, without a doubt find your lot first. The first rule for real estate - location! location! location! - applies equally to buying existing and building new. Find yourself a good realtor who is familiar with technology and give them your requirements - how much acreage, general location, price, etc. They can set you up in the local MLS to be notified via email whenever anything meeting your criteria hits the market. You will be among the first to know and you can just drive out there and check it out without even bothering your realtor. If your realtor won't do this for you, find another.
We found our 3 acre lot 2 years ago this way, purchased it, paid off that land loan last year, and have been saving for the house ever since. We have enough saved to get started now, so we're starting to settle on certain floorplans and exterior styles. Once we get our heads fully together and agree on the basics, we will be contacting builders. We have been visiting custom builder open houses and speaking to local builders for awhile now, to shorten our preferred builder list.
Just yesterday though, several new parcels of land hit the market so I checked them out. I am always looking to improve on what we already have - and if I find something better, we could sell our current land at any time as it's in a very desirable location.
Since we purchased our land, 4 nearby parcels in the same neighborhood have sold and houses built on 3 of them. The parcels on each side of us have sold and one house is built (they just moved in last month) already. The owner/builder who just moved in next door told me he would have preferred our lot if we hadn't already purchased. So we're really glad we got our land first!
Another benefit is watching the home styles going up in the neighborhood all around us - we are watching closely to the things we like and don't like, and incorporating these (or not!) into our plans.
Lot, architect, builder bids, and this is important, in that order. We wasted 2 years perfecting a plan that would not work for us, you can imagine the frustration when you think you have IT only to find out there are too many issues with the build we had been bidding. So, 2 years later we are working on our plan B. Good Luck with finding the perfect location to build your home.
Lot first. It ended up taking us nearly 3 years to find one worth the $.
However, as alluded to above, financing plays an important role in the timeline. Paying cash for the lot affords the most flexibility, but sucks up capital. A land loan would offer the same flexibility (with less capital), but raw land loans often carry nasty interest rates. Closing on the lot with a construction loan would be the cheapest route, but the 12mo clock starts ticking at close (which may lead to rushing the all important design phase). YMMV.
I think that all three aspects run parallel. You have a dream plan, but how will you know if you can afford it until you sit down with a builder with fairly detailed specifications to discuss an estimate? On the other hand, how can you get preliminary specifications unless you have gone over the plan with a designer/architect? From the book, What Your Contractor Can't Tell You, the inputs from the designer/architect and builder provide information from different angles with the chance of reaching the balance of design and budget greatly improved.
I showed our plan to our builder early in the design process and he pointed out several ideas to bring the cost down. So it was back to the drawing board to incorporate his ideas. My guess is we will have at least two more passes before we get to the final plan. I will admit, though, that our situation is unusual in that we have our builder chosen early in the process.
Yes, the lot should be first. There are many reasons: orientation, view (both favorable things to see as well as things to avoid seeing), climate, energy usage, minimum size of house per CCRs, zoning restrictions and buildable envelope,among other considerations. It really is pointless to design a house without a specific lot in mind.
Second would be to find an experienced and compatible architect who does houses (not all architects do). The architect may be able to suggest a general contractor, which would be the third step.
You will want to be sure that the architect is experienced with successful house construction, and that your contractor is experienced working with architects and their drawings/specifications. Check references!
Good luck!

Next Stop: Islamorada
Continue your drive from Key Largo to Islamorada, which sits between the saltwater wilderness of the Everglades National Park and the deep waters of the Florida Straits. Stop at the Rain Barrel Artisan Village (Mile Marker 86.7) which is impossible to miss with its giant fiberglass lobster standing proudly at the entrance of this fascinating sculpture art gallery. There are individual shops all nestled under a canopy of giant Banyan trees selling a tempting selection of unique homemade gifts including unusual jewelry, pottery and ceramics, so allow enough time for some all-important perusing.
Is your stomach rumbling again? It's nearing lunchtime after all, and if there's one place in which to indulge over a memorable lunch in Islamorada, it's Lorelei (Mile Marker 82). As popular for its daytime menu as its evening sunset celebrations, this restaurant and Cabana bar offers one of the best views of Florida Bay which you'll no doubt happily soak up over seafood tacos or the "Lorelei's World Famous Fish Sandwich," all washed down with a Keys-style frozen drink.
The sparkling ocean is looking calm and the afternoon sun is stretching its rays across a cloudless sky; it's looking too good outside to hop back into your car, so take some time to unwind on one of Islamorada's finest beaches. Anne's Beach (Mile Marker 73) is a perfect stretch of paradise, conveniently located next to the Overseas Highway so you won't struggle to find it. The beach is an ideal spot for sunbathing, switching off for an afternoon nap, cooling off in the shallows, or just taking in the beautiful ocean views.
Marathon or Bust
Your relaxing lunch will set you up for the next stretch as you cruise down Highway 1 to the Middle Keys which are anchored by Marathon, a 10-mile-long island with a family-friendly reputation and a rich fishing heritage. Take a break from your car and stretch your legs by taking your pick of several attractions in Marathon. First, you will come across the Dolphin Research Center (Mile Marker 59) in Grassy Key where you can interact with dolphins and learn about exciting dolphin research. Also nearby way is the new Aquarium Encounters (just after Vaca Cut Bridge at Mile Marker 53). Here, you will find an interactive Florida Keys aquarium experience with daily shark feedings, stingray encounters, and the opportunity to swim among fish on the attraction's coral reef. Or if you prefer an outdoor nature experience, nearby at Mile Marker 50 is Crane Point, a nature center with walking trails through a tropical hardwood grove.
Further west is a wildlife lovers' paradise at the Turtle Hospital which is dedicated to helping injured sea turtles return to the wild. If you need to wet your whistle or just bask in the glory of the sea, pop into Tranquility Bay Resort's beachfront TJ's Tiki Bar for an island drink (right next door to the Turtle Hospital at Mile Marker 48.5).
Seven Mile Bridge
The Middle Keys not only signal the halfway mark in your Overseas Highway road trip; it is also the point at which you can stop to capture images of the impressive Seven Mile Bridge soaring over the Gulf of Mexico. Running alongside it is the Old Seven Mile Bridge, the hurricane-battered railroad built by Henry Flagler in the early 1900s which is now a popular spot for fishing. After its destruction in the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, it was later rebuilt in 1978 and features a rising arc in its center so you'll feel like you're driving right off into the sky! There are plenty of places to pull over and take some photos, enjoy a stroll and watch the wildlife fly by.
Just south of Marathon lies the tiny island of Pigeon Key which is well worth a stop, particularly if you're after a taste of Florida Keys history. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Pigeon Key is a five-acre property which served as a home base for railroad workers operating the Old Seven Mile Bridge. You can reach Pigeon Key by bicycle or foot along the historic bridge (a 2.2 mile trek) or by ferry service which departs from the Pigeon Key Visitor Center and Gift Shop on Knight's Key (Mile Marker 47).
The Lower Keys
The further south you drive, the more beautifully remote the scenery becomes in the Lower Keys. For some much-needed leg-stretching, stop off at Bahia Honda Key (Mile Marker 37), a tropical island home to one of Florida's southernmost state parks with beautiful beaches, magnificent sunsets and excellent snorkelling. As you drive south into Big Pine Key (Mile Marker 29) there are plenty of places to pull over for a pit stop if your hungers pangs start kicking in, including No Name Pub on Watson Boulevard which serves up great pitchers of beer and pizza.
For classic Keys-style dining, try The Wharf Bar and Grill at Mile Marker 25.5 on Summerland Key where you can enjoy freshly-caught fish and vegetables grown from the restaurant's organic garden, all served up in a peaceful waterfront setting with indoor and outdoor seating. If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, head further south in Sugarloaf Key at Mangrove Mama's (Mile Marker 20) for a generous slice of Key lime pie on the sun-baked, palm tree-lined patio, or try Baby's Coffee (Mile Marker 15), which is famous for its Cuban roasts and Key lime pie to-go.
Final Destination… Key West
As the afternoon starts merging into evening, your last leg of this world-renowned road trip will end in Key West just where the party begins. You'll arrive just in time to find a spot for your first Key West sunset, and you won't be disappointed.
Check-in at Parrot Key Resort and refresh before stepping outside to celebrate the moment the golden sun dips into the ocean. Tomorrow marks the start of your vacation in this place known as paradise, so dine out and enjoy the moment until it's time for a much-needed sleep surrounded by the simple luxury of your Parrot Key guestroom or suite. Sleep tight and let the Key West fun begin tomorrow!
Suite living in paradise: upgrade to a little extra luxury and space at Parrot Key Resort
There are many words we like to use when describing the perfect vacation, and many of them happen to begin with the letter 's'. Whether it's sunshine, sunsets, sea, sand, simplicity, serenity, or just space to enjoy your freedom away from the routine of everyday life. We're going to add another 's' for good measure – suites! At Parrot Key, we have created spacious one and two-bedroom suites with style and comfort in mind which make them ideal for couples seeking a little extra indulgence, or for families and friends after much-needed privacy.
Each suite features stunning views and you can choose to live among the tree tops with your own garden view balcony or choose our waterfront suites with views of Florida Bay. If you're seeking extra savings, a garden suite is the way to go. Don't just expect to see a pretty display of flowers when we highlight the garden views; in your suite, you will wake up every morning to the spectacular sight of towering palm trees and lush foliage, all helping you to feel the great distance between your newly-found paradise and the hectic urban sprawl you left behind. You and your loved ones will feel revitalized and refreshed living in luxury with the uplifting sight and scent of our peaceful tropical oasis surrounding your spacious suite.
Whether you choose the king one-bedroom garden suite, or the two-bedroom garden suite featuring a master king room and a second queen room or twin room, each room has its own flat-screen TV and DVD player for when you need time out to switch off and recharge. However, bringing the party together will also create some of the best highlights of your vacation, which is why our living rooms are perfectly designed to ensure everyone can sprawl out and watch the latest entertainment on a 42″ flat-screen TV and enjoy all the benefits of a dry bar area, mini-fridge (in most rooms) and coffee maker.
You may wish to stay in your suite all day with such beautiful views and comfortable surrounds, but once you step foot outside and make your way through the landscaped tropical gardens, you'll soon discover one of our four pools, each sparkling among its own private sculpture garden.
Within a short stroll is Café Blue, serving light lunches, snacks and cool cocktails, a perfect spot for relaxing throughout the day and celebrating an unforgettable Key West sunset. Take our shuttle bus to Smathers Beach and you'll later find yourself immersed in one of many water sports activities. Venture onto the streets of Key West and the line-up of adventure seems unending, from the Conch Tour Train, the lively atmosphere of Mallory Square, and the many museums and attractions all telling the fascinating story behind this colorful Florida Keys island. Happy vacation!

July is one of the most popular times of the year to visit Key West with family fun and a month-long schedule of events that really celebrate the history, culture and flavors of the island. Independence Day kick starts the month on July 4th, alongside the Key Lime Pie Festival (3 – 5), followed by Mel Fisher Days (9 – 12) which marks the anniversary of Mel Fisher's discovery of the shipwrecked 1622 Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha. Ernest Hemingway, another Key West legend, is also celebrated in July during Hemingway Days (21 – 26) which marks the famous author's birthday. The Key West Marlin Tournament takes place from July 22 – 25, and Mini Lobster Season takes off in the Florida Keys, making July a favorite month in the year for visitors wanting to sample the freshest catch. If you're looking for savings during your July vacation, choose dates after Independence Day which is a peak travel time for visitors. For extra tips on booking your vacation in July at Parrot Key Resort, read more here.
Lobster Season continues throughout August, as do the clear blue skies and tropical heat that is consistent throughout the year in Key West.

After the busy summer season, September lends a quieter and calmer atmosphere to your Key West visit which is why couples find it the ideal month for a romantic retreat when the weather is still beautifully warm.

Key West continues to enjoy long moments of calm in October following the departure of the summer crowds, but there is also an opportunity to enjoy an upbeat party during the world-famous Fantasy Fest from October 23 through 31. This flamboyant festival of outrageous costume and masks comes with parades, parties, island bands and street fairs, making it one of the most colorful and daring festivals in the Florida Keys. If you're looking for a calmer vacation during the month, Columbus Day on October 12th is a great opportunity to enjoy a peaceful long weekend.

While the rest of the northern hemisphere is gearing up for a long, cold winter, the Florida Keys continues to bask in day-long sunshine which is why it is a much-loved destination for enjoying the long weekend breaks to celebrate Veteran's Day on November 11th and Thanksgiving Day on November 26th.

For extra tips on booking your vacation in November at Parrot Key Resort, read more here.
If you're after a fantastic festive deal, book your vacation to Key West in early December before the holiday crowds arrive later in the month. The island truly embraces the festive spirit with beautiful lighted boat parades and holiday events, adding a tropical twist to the spirit of Christmas. Later in the month is when the island sees the most visitors, particularly between Christmas and New Year so it's important to book your December vacation in advance.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Use failing marriage to rethink sneaky love life
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I have two men in my life and they are both beautiful human beings. I don't count my husband, because he is a bad person. He is a good breadwinner, but he is not a trustworthy man. He cheats on me every time I have a baby and am out of commission. That ugly discovery opened the door for me to see who else is out there.
What I found was amazing. My lovers are both married -- and there is much necessary lying and covering up involved for us to keep this all underground. I do love them both very much.
A few weeks ago my husband found out I have been seeing others, and is demanding a divorce. If I go for it, my two lovers will disappear because they are both married and the playing field will no longer be level with my being single. What should I do? -- Caught in the Middle, Winnipeg
Dear Caught: Look, you and your husband have little left of a real marriage, except the children, and you will split the money between you, according to law. Your husband is angry now, and demanding a divorce, so this is the time to see your own domestic lawyer, ASAP.
This is also an opportunity to raise your personal life to a different level -- unless you like the cloak-and-dagger scene when you're sneaking around. (Some people become addicted to the drama.) There's another important issue to consider seriously when you do this: Do you want your kids to find out their mother and father cheat and lie to each other and have other lovers? They are growing older every day, and you can't fool kids with these behaviours forever. They hear and absorb so much of their parents' verbal communication and actions, and it can be very hard on them.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Fourteen years ago I got in the car and drove far away from the young woman of 17 whom I loved. I went to the west coast and worked on the boats at first. I heard I had broken her heart in pieces. Now I am back in Winnipeg and I went to a social last weekend and heard about her and that her marriage dissolved a few years ago.
I am now obsessed with seeing her. I saw the back of her head on Facebook. She may have seen me because I have been on Facebook for a few years. I left because she and I were so young, and she wanted to get married and have kids right away. I wanted to be educated and also be a musician on the side -- big dreams. I accomplished both goals, but married poorly. Now, like every other lost soul, I have come home to my roots and I have a new job in Winnipeg. Should I contact her? I know she is single, no boyfriend right now. What should I do? -- The Runaway, Winnipeg
Dear Runaway: Half of me says "Leave her alone after what you did," and the other half says "Why not call her?" She may have missed you and will want to see you. Or, she may throw the first available object at your head.
I have readers with long-lost loves in their backgrounds. Some old loves have come back and looked them up -- with good, bad and indifferent results. Some people -- not very many -- dream someone who broke their heart as a teenager would come back as a grown-up. I'm asking anyone with an opinion on this or first-hand experience to write me and share their thoughts. What do you think? Is it a bad idea or a good idea for Runaway to look this woman up?
Please send your questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg R2X 3B6.

This instrument is continuing, absolute and unconditional; provided, however, that the Undersigned may by notice in writing, sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to Creditor at Creditor's office at Kansas City, Missouri, terminate this Guaranty with respect to the Obligations of Principal incurred by Principal after the date on which such notice is received by Creditor. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, and the Undersigned's liability hereunder shall be primary, direct and immediate. 3. If any default occurs in connection with the Obligations, the Undersigned agrees to pay to Creditor upon demand the full amount which would be payable hereunder by the Undersigned if all Obligations were then due and payable. 4. The Undersigned hereby consents and agrees that Creditor may at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Undersigned, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period), alter, modify or exchange, or grant any other indulgence with respect to, any of the Obligations, or any writing evidencing the Obligations, or any of them. 5.

Be sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and that you want to accept this responsibility. You may have to pay up to the full amount of the debt if the borrower does not pay. You may also have to pay late fees or collection costs, which increase this amount. The bank can collect this debt from you without first trying to collect from the borrower. The bank can use the same collection methods against you that can be used against the borrower, such as suing you, garnishing your wages, etc. If this debt is ever in default, the fact may become a part of your credit record.

Flossie's Cotton Candy - Color May Vary$1.18
Flossie's pre-packaged melt-in-your-mouth flavored cotton candy!
- 2.4 ounce size
This cotton candy is not only great for snacking, but it is also a fantastic idea for: giveaways, weddings, birthday parties, spring festivals, school activities, church events, fundraising, and much more!
What are the flavors/colors?
- Pink (Strawberry)
- Blue (Blueberry)
What is the shelf life of cotton candy?
Store the cotton candy in a cool & dry area away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. The stated optimal shelf life is 45 days. The cotton candy is actually fine for several months if stored properly. Flossie's produces Rural King's order the morning of the day it ships, so we are at the absolute beginning of the shelf life of the cotton candy. You can also freeze cotton candy to preserve indefinitely!
How big are the bags of cotton candy?
The physical dimensions of the candy itself (not the bags) is approximately 7 inches wide x 11 inches long x 3 inches thick. This is the 2.4 ounce bag of cotton candy.
Something to consider: When you buy cotton candy that's made in front of you on a cone or stick, you get an average of 1 ounce of cotton candy but it is poofy and airy. As it is not possible to ship cotton candy in big "poofy clouds" (it would mash and wad in the box), Flossie's tamp the candy to make it denser so that it can fit into a box with other bags of cotton candy and ship. However, tamping does bring the footprint of the candy down. Our 2.4 ounce bag is double to, weight wise, what you get on a cone or stick!
Is Flossie's Cotton Candy certified Kosher?
Yes. Flossie's incurs ongoing and considerable expense and they grant unfettered access to their proprietary production processes in order to offer the cotton candy to those that require the strict reassurance of reputable Kosher certification and cleanliness.Learn More

I have received dress
By Nancy From
I was pleasantly surprised by the good quality of this dress! Very nice seams. I got it in ivory, it is a little whiter than what I would consider "normal" invory. I didn't dare to get the precise size in case it would have been too small, so I got a size bigger, and it was exactly one size too big... so it's probably best to go with the size chart!

"One of the Most Surprising Books I've Read"
I just loved this book. I get so tired of hearing people say how bad things have gotten, and how much more violent we are than our wonderful peaceful ancestors. Pinker puts the lie to that idea and backs up his personal observations with extensive documentation. I appreciate that Pinker is trying to make a point here and may have omitted some evidence that didn't back up his claims, so I'd like to read a detailed refutation of his central tenet. The only objection I have to this book is that it is, in my opinion, somewhat longer than it needed to be, as he makes some points over and over again.

Avery® EcoFriendly™ 48395 White Name Badge Label, 2 1/3"(W) x 3 3/8"(L), 80/Pack
Reviewed by 1 customer
Holds up to K-5 students
Comments about Avery® EcoFriendly™ 48395 White Name Badge Label, 2 1/3"(W) x 3 3/8"(L), 80/Pack:
I used these labels as name tags for an event at our elementary school. I was able to easily use the website that was compatible with these labels to customize them with all the information that needed to be on them. The students were given the name tags to wear for about three and a half hours and we didn't have any issues with tags falling off or tearing. These labels were worn in science classes, art, cheerleading, and karate classes and never fell off. I would recommend these labels especially since they are ecofrriendly and more cost efficient than the larger packs.

The state senate---currently mired in a Byzantine debate over the budget, with Republicans trying to hijack a budget proposal that Democrats have been hashing out for months---twice rejected proposals to vote on the reproductive parity act, which would require insurers who pay for maternity care to also cover abortions.
An effort to attach the bill to four Republican-backed budget bills proposed by Sen. Don Benton (R-17) failed 26-23, with several Democrats (including conservative Democrat Mary Margaret Haugen, D-10) breaking ranks and several moderate Republicans who might have voted for the bill (including, somewhat surprisingly, pro-choice Republican Steve Litzow, R-41), voting against it. Another vote, to put the act on the senate floor on its own, failed by the same margin.
Litzow, elected in 2010, served on the board of NARAL's PAC. The bill could still be resurrected later in the session (if it's deemed not "necessary to implement the budget," since today's cutoff is only for budget bills) or in a special session, if today's budget clusterfuck forces one.
Before the vote, senate majority leader Lisa Brown (D-3) gave an emotional floor speech in favor of the legislation.
"There's a national movement against women's reproductive freedom and health in this country, and with this bill we can demonstrate that Washington State, as it has voted repeatedly, as a state is firmly on the side of women's health and freedom and choice," Brown said. "It's one of the most significant issues facing us in the country today. ... I urge members to stand on the side of women's health and the personal freedom of a person to make the decision to control her own body."
