Dave Moody Interview with WSB-TV 2 Atlanta
Dave Moody, a child sexual abuse survivor featured in Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children® training, recently shared his story with Atlanta's WSB-TV 2 news station. Of the interview, Dave said, "If I can help prevent one child from being hurt or give hope to one survivor, then telling my story has been worth the personal discomfort. I, too, am healing by helping others." You can view the interview here.
Ready for Our Close-up: The Stewards of Children World Premiere
Theatre lights dimmed and popcorn bags crinkled quietly as over 230 people settled into their seats, preparing for the night's premiere. Throughout the feature, moviegoers were riveted to the events on the screen, sometimes nodding, sometimes laughing, and sometimes crying. As the credits rolled, featured cast members appeared on the stage to a standing ovation from the audience. This may sound like the world premiere of a blockbuster hit, and for many in attendance, it was. On September 26, Darkness to Light (D2L) officially launched …
"The Big Speech" – A Survivor Shares His Story
Excerpted from a May 6 post on "Moody Speaks," Dave Moody's personal blog A few weeks ago I gave my first public speech on being a sexual abuse survivor. I must admit, that recently I have done a few interviews for newspapers and magazines, and even a training video that will go around world to train people on preventing and helping those that have been sexually abused. In none of those interviews or filming did I cry once. For some reason when I gave the …

Founded in February 2004, Facebook has quickly become one of the most popular social networking sites, playing host to 400 million users in 75 different languages around the world. Facebook's mission is to 'give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected'. They are certainly well on their way. Even the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory is on board with Facebook, ruling in 2008 that Facebook is a valid protocol to serve notice to defendants.
The concept of social networking sites raises a number of privacy and safety concerns. Recently, Facebook has been in the news for a surprising variety of reasons: police laying charges based on the contents of photos, fugitives being located from their own status updates and young people coming to harms way. The very nature of social networking sites provides for a broad ability to raise all sorts of issues. However, it is how Facebook users establish and maintain privacy that has become of the utmost importance.
Understanding Privacy Settings
Scrutinizing Facebook's privacy statement is no simple task. The New York Times recently investigated Facebook's privacy statement, drawing particular attention to the word count. In 2005, Facebook's privacy statement was at a mere 1,004 words. Five years later it has ballooned to 5,830 words, a growth of over a thousand words a year. The New York Times cleverly points out that Facebook's policy statement is longer than the United States Constitution. The Australian Constitution, however, could eat Facebook's privacy statement for breakfast, coming in at approximately 14,000 words. The University of Melbourne's privacy policy weights in with 1,383 words. The length of the privacy statement alone is daunting, never mind trying to navigate around the 50 different privacy settings with 170 different options.
Talking about Facebook and privacy has quickly become as popular as skinny jeans and the elusive 'best' coffee in Melbourne. But what should we actually be worrying about? What are the risks and concerns? As a proud and possibly addicted Facebook user, here are my top three concerns:
- Who can access my Facebook profile content and personal information?
- Search engine visibility
- 3rd party advertisers
Understanding privacy on Facebook is much different than privacy in the offline world. Generally, we assume that we are the gatekeepers that grant others a right to our personal information. Facebook sees things differently. Facebook keeps the gate open as their default setting for privacy. Facebook argues that everyone 'opts in' to join Facebook and every time a user posts a status update or photo, they have 'opted in' to share that personal information by the mere act of adding it to their account. This means that anyone who joins Facebook (meaning anyone over the age of 13 with a valid email address) has zero privacy until they sort through the 50 different settings with 170 options.
Controlling My Profile
Facebook's privacy settings are detailed and specific. Most importantly they are designed to empower users to sort through each setting individually in order to protect users privacy. It is essential go through each category to select your own privacy settings.
Personally, I was quick to adjust the 'Search' subcategory to control who could search for me either on Facebook or on a search engine (search engines can index anything you make public, I set my profile as completely private). I also took the liberty of 'blocking' a few individuals on Facebook who shall remain nameless. Apart from 3rd party advertisers, which I'll address later on, that took care of the outside world – it was then time to work through my 'Friends'.
I have found that the most effective and time efficient way to control what different 'Friends' can see is by creating 'friend lists'. Creating lists is relatively easy. On my 'Home' page, I selected 'Friends' from the right hand column of options. The 'Friends' page provided me with a list of all my friends in order of most recent activity. At the top of the 'Friends' page is a button marks 'Create a List'. Once I clicked the list I had the option to create a group of friends separate from all of my other friends.
While I would never want to openly admit that I classify or rank my 'friends' – I secretly do. Inner circle friends, family, work colleagues, university colleagues all have their own lists. I have found these lists useful to sending out group messages over Facebook, but most importantly, I can tailor the level of privacy I want to have against the entire list by simply going through my privacy settings and 'allowing' or 'blocking' them on all settings (who can see photos, wall posts etc). This enables me to have a slightly more manageable and time efficient strategy for protecting my privacy. This is of course not to say that I have a particularly interesting Facebook profile, in fact, I am quite sure that I don't. However, not all of my friends on Facebook need to see me in my pyjamas on Christmas morning.
3rd Party Advertising
Facebook says they don't share identity or names – they sell advertising based on demographic and perceived interests. Facebook uses anonymized demographically targeted ads, and "serve ad impressions to users where the word is on there somewhere". While similar to a key word search on Google, this the word search goes through your entire Facebook profile, including personal messages, wall posts, etc. This translates into advertising getting their audience without getting the personal information.
Since setting my status as 'engaged' I have been bombarded with ads full of blushing young women dressed up as cupcakes. At the beginning of the year, I arranged a trip to Sydney and organized to meet friends via Facebook messages. Imagine my surprise when ads for Sydney Opera House tours started popping up on the right hand side of my profile.
Facebook's business pages currently hosts over 1.5 million small businesses and plan to go up against Google in providing advertising services. The anonymized demographically targeted ads provide businesses with the ability to narrow down their target audience, reaching directly to specific individuals. Facebook goes as far as to provides users with the option to 'close' an ad and give feedback on why they chose to close the ad. How helpful.
Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities
Facebook's 'Statement of Rights and Responsibilities' provides that they can amend the Statement so long as they provide users with notice by posting the change on the Facebook Site Governance Page and provide users with an opportunity to give comment (Section 13). If there are 7000 or more users who comment on a change, Facebook will provide a voting mechanism for the particular change. While Facebook prides itself on being user friendly – the moral of the story is that changes can happen without users receiving direct notification. This means that users must exercise self-responsibility and frequently check the Facebook Site Governance Page for any updates or changes.
New Additions and applications
Social plug-ins let you see what your friends have liked, commented on or shared on sites across the web. All social plug-ins are extensions of Facebook and are specifically designed so none of your data is shared with the sites on which they appear. For example, last week I was on cnn.com and paused in the middle of the reading an article only to notice a bar at the right hand side of the page informing me that one of my Facebook friends had recently posted a comment on his friend's Facebook wall about that particular article. I couldn't log into Facebook fast enough to update my privacy settings.
Facebook is on the cusp of offering location-based services to Facebook users. This service will allow users to see the geographical location of other users at the time they log in. This will certainly take 'face creeping' (checking up on or 'stalking') someone's profile to an entirely new level.
Facebook's Stance
Facebook reported that they will soon ramp up their efforts to provide better guidance to those confused about how to control sharing and maintain privacy. Elliot Schrage, Vice President for Public Policy at Facebook said that 'anyone interested in these topics should become fans of the About Facebook Page and the Facebook Site Governance Page — two valuable sources of information that already provide regular updates to more than 8 million users'. Users are also welcome to become a fan of 'Facebook' and to leave a suggestion at the help center.
While I continue to juggle my paranoia with what has become a mild obsession with Facebook I have found three approaches that I believe protect my privacy: maintain my 'Friend lists', checking changes to privacy settings frequently and using what my mother would call using my 'not-so-common common sense' about what I post about myself on the internet. But after all the work to maintain my privacy and stay ahead of any updates or changes, I can't help but ask myself, is it worth the risk?

Hotelex will be held from the 9th to the 12th April 2012 and expects an audience of 100,000 buyers
Hostelco will have a pavilion in HDD Shanghai, the major world fair for hotel and catering equipment
Hostelco will have its own pavilion in HDD Shanghai, the major world fair aimed to equipment suppliers for the hospitality sector. This initiative, fruit of the agreement reached between Fira de Barcelona and UBM Sinoexpo, is part of Fira's internationalisation strategy and will allow the Spanish companies in this field to explore the great opportunities offered by Asian markets.
The presence of Hostelco will be in Hotelex, the most important show for suppliers of the Asian hotel and catering industry. The next edition will be held in Shanghai from April 9th to 12th 2012 being part of HDD (Hotelex + Design & Deco), a larger event which will bring together the building and sanitary applications industry (Expobuild) as well as professional cleaning companies (China Clean). The fair, which will cover 200,000 square metres and house 2,200 exhibitors, expects to attract over 100,000 professional buyers.
Hostelco, Fira de Barcelona's International Hotel and Catering Equipment Show, will make its debut outside of Barcelona to offer its exhibitors the possibility of positioning themselves on the global hospitality market and, specifically, in countries that, like China, will triple their tourist infrastructure in the next decade.
For Fira de Barcelona's International Business Director, Ricard Zapatero, "this agreement is very positive for the sector's Spanish companies that, through Hostelco, will be able to take advantage of the big opportunities offered by markets as dynamic as the Asian ones, especially at a time when demand in European economies is very weak". Zapatero also said that the presence of Hostelco in Hotelex "forms part of Fira de Barcelona's strategy to boost its international business and promote the exposure of Spanish companies to foreign trade". Fira Barcelona will also hold an edition of its construction materials show, Construmat, in Beijing on July 2012, which is a clear example of this vision.
According to the president of the Chinese society UBM Sinoexpo, Wang Ming Liang, "the time for this agreement could not be better, since the hotel sector is currently one of the most dynamic in the Chinese economy and Shanghai aspires to be the great capital of world tourism in 2015, with the set up of over 15 unique projects -such as a new Disney park in the city- which will mobilise an investment of 4,000 million euros".
According to data from the World Tourism Organisation, China is the third world tourist power, having received 56 million foreign tourists in 2010. The Chinese Tourist Agency (CTA) estimates that in 2011, this sector will contribute over 160,000 million euros to the country's GDP.

Some days, I feel like I am still in California in the middle of over-inflated land prices as everyone rushes to own a piece of dirt before there isn't any more. I can't believe that 5-acre lots in the Carson/Dayton areas are going for over $120,000+. About twice what the going price is just 40 minutes more up the highway where we are. Maybe this is a sign?
Personally, I really like the area we are in, although there is a little bit of a "trashy" element closer to the actual "town" area. If we really DO go crazy and build a house instead of the original four-car garage with mother-in-law-apartment, I really would like to stay around the area we are in. Not much in the way of trees, but lovely views of the hills, less than 10 minutes to the lake, ATV trails less than five minutes from the front door, good aquifer and less snow. Besides, in about 20 years, the three- and four-foot tall trees we planted over the last few years will cast wonderful amounts of shade!
Or I'd like to move further on up the highway to the Fallon area. This area is still somewhat affordable and there is still acreage available. Have a difficult time even finding a listing to read in the Carson/Dayton and Reno/Sparks area. At least there are listings in the Fallon area. Of course, the big drawback is that it is another good hour further up the road. Doesn't matter for my commute, as it puts me the same distance from work, - just coming in from a different angle - but not good for DH's at all.
Traveled out to Yerrington today to visit the DMV so my daughter could trade in her CA license for a Nevada one. Ag country with horses, cows and alfalfa. My kinda place... but again, a ways off the beaten path and adds quite a bit to DH's commute.

realtor.com is where I get my very "ballpark" figures for the values of houses and the cost of land. I plug in the location and attributes of the house I am considering selling (like the one I'm living in, for example). This pulls up similar homes and what the asking price is. Of course, that doesn't really say what the actual purchase prices are, but at least you can get an idea of what range you are looking at. I also use it to go land-hunting. Again, gives you an idea what the going price is.

Finished re-reading The Owner-Builder Book for the fourth time. Of all the books I own (and they are legion), this one definitely rates in the top 20 of books read over and over and over again. I am now starting my second time through The Complete Guide to Contracting Your Home. Not as "readable", but still has lots of useful information. Not being a general contractor, not being in one of the trades, and not being particularly handy in building things in general, I am trying to educate and arm myself as best as possible, considering I'm basically a geek and useless in this realm. After pretty much reading through all of the "Build Your Own Home for Dummies" types of books, these two really are the best ones and most useful. Some of the others, though possibly easier to read, do not go into nearly as much depth.
I find myself fantasizing about becoming a general contractor and building three or four custom homes a year and making gobs of money off of unsuspecting people. I know it is just the seduction of the current project making me think this way. Then reality hits, and I know I will be lucky to survive whatever our own personal home project turns out to be. When I was in the business of making printed circuit boards, I thought I might become a chemist – not!!! When I was an accounting clerk, I thought I might become a CPA – ha! ha! So, odds are, I will not become the Next Great Custom Home Builder of Nevada… buy hey, a girl's gotta have some dreams, right?
Can't wait for my tile samples to come in. Even if the tile we choose is somewhat different, the base colors should help us choose other items for our home. (Note: Oooh, oooh, the ones from builddirect.com came today. I think I am in love… does oooh-ing and ah-ing count as part of the planning process?)
Good luck on your personal journeys. I see some of you are having a tougher time with Life, The Universe and Everything, right now, not to mention just working on building your homes. May the New Year bring Good Things to you and yours.
It's currently all only on paper, in our heads or in little electronic bytes, right? So now would be the correct time to go crazy with changes. Our running total spent for books, magazines, tile samples and a toilet paper holder totals under $190 and all of it is still valid and useful. Soooo…
My dear husband (DH) liked my design skills, tentative money plan, attention to detail and ability to read his mind so much that, as is his particular skill, he wants to change everything – and build that house we've been talking about for 10 years or so. Easy for him to say! A four-car garage and a little studio, I was up for. A full-blown house on a yet-to-be-purchased plot of land?! There are parts of it that sound appealing – perhaps fun, even – and then there are massive parts that have me terrified (like most of it).
At the very least, to even begin a feasibility study, I will need to know
· Can we find 4 ½ - 10 acres in the Dayton, Dayton Valley, Carson City area for under $100K?
· Or, if not, can we find it in the Fallon, Somewhere-between-Fallon-and-Reno area?
· Or, will we be happy to purchase another plot of sand in the current area?
· How much are builders asking for a 2,400+ sq. ft. home with three-car garage if you provide the land?
· Can we afford a $400K + mortgage?
· How long can we afford to carry two mortgages?
I have bought and/or sold three homes and a piece of land acting as my own Realtor – thus saving large sums of commission. I've refinanced a few of our home loans, too, in my day. If I really liked it, I'd be a real estate or loan agent by now. But I really kind of hate it. Except – except – that it saves so much darn money if you understand the process and can do it yourself. Good Lord, maybe here we go again! DH is right, I'm not happy without some project to stress me out… but I'm not sure I'm ready for this, either!
Dreaming, I like dreaming…
The good
· A "real" house, not a manufactured one (although the one we have is very, very nice for what it is)
· A neighborhood with more upscale housing where the home might appreciate more and more rapidly
· Double the square footage of our current home
· Wraparound porch? (strong enough for 100 years of wisteria vines?!)
· Possible dramatic increase in equity
· Something that might last 100 years to pass on to our grandkids
· Closer to a place that has grocery stores and gas stations
· We can do it My, oops, uh, OUR way
The bad
· Higher mortgage payments
· Have to put in another metal building
· Will probably have to put in perimeter fencing
· Build another dog pen & house (hey, we're getting good at it)
· Start a new orchard from scratch
· ½ hour to 1 ½ hours further from the boat launch (we're currently 8 minutes from gate to water)
· Probably have to dig a deeper well than the one we currently have
· Aquifer may not be as reliable and stable as our current one (that is charged by the local lake)
The ugly
· Moving, again (third time in four or five years, depending on time line)
· Changing schools during high school
· Carrying two mortgages until the first home can be sold
· More snow if we move towards Dayton/Carson City area
· If we're in the Fallon-ish area, could make the commute much worse for DH
The it doesn't matter
· May or may not make the commute better for me; probably will not make it worse for me
· I'm sure there will be evil, murderous jackrabbits to chew my apple trees wherever we move
Baby steps
· I spent $5.99 on a book of plans today
· Did a building-cost.net sample takeoff for a 2,500 sq. ft. home with a fireplace and some upgrades – about $269K – and about $31K of it is "contractor markup"
· If I save 8% of $269K ($21,520), that still brings us in under $250K for the house
I can truly see why the 2nd and subsequent houses would take significantly less time than the original one. This all assumes, of course, that we survive this one!
I started going through all the vendor interview documents that I drew up last time (for the house we never built). Each one represents approximately an hours worth of research and work. To update them with the information from the new project took about 5 minutes each – about a 90% time savings.
In addition to time savings, I also ran across something I had forgotten about – our Safety Policy. Except for the address change and the inclusion of contact information, it remains the same. Only, I wouldn't have remembered to even do it if I hadn't have saved it from the House We Never Built. Here's a copy of the document:

That's where insurance comes in. And having a good lawer on your team. Mostly, besides helping to show you were not negligent, I think it makes people aware that you are not going to let them be slackers in this area. I envision that I would make them read it in front of me and then have them sign it in front of me. I'm sure some of them will think I'm micro-managing them, but I work in an ISO 9002 company, and things like this are standard operating procedure there (just like making sure all documents have a title, author and 'last updated' date on them, and such).
OK, so the title has nothing to do with this entry ...
Got down and started a preliminary budget with what few numbers I know and some guesstimate % of cost for many items. Now I have to see if in the real world I can get what we need at the price we have to have to make this thing fly. There is still the very real possibility that this project will die before it starts. My husband and I have pretty thick skulls, though, so I am proceeding as if this is really going to happen.
The preliminary budget sure pointed out how much I don't know about current prices and all the things that need to go into the budget.
I found a good price on slate tile that would put in in the same range as porcelain tile - only, after researching the care and feeding of this most porus of stones, I have decided that we will definitely not build a shower with it. It's too bad, because it is sooooo pretty - but I do not wish to be enslaved to the cleaning and sealing and resealing of it. And I can't aford marble, even though that is a nice dense stone that will resist moisture and need less care than the slate. Well, I am now very knowledgeable about stone. ... and I think we're gonna use porcelain tile that looks like stone instead. Well, and hour's research saved us from that head ache.
I was feeling bummed because I could have saved $200 today if we were really ready to start acquiring things like lights for the house. Then I found nearly the same thing for much cheaper and no shipping or tax on it on the Internet. Made me immediately feel better -- like something will be on sale when it's time to go real shopping, anyway.
It's really good to see everyone's photos and hear about their trials and tribulations. Good days, bad day, seems like everyone is surviving and even thriving - makes me feel like we can really do this thing.
I renewed my Costco card today. That was before I read Cara's comment to get one if there's one near by. Maybe we are somehow related? (After all, just add an "l" and we have the same name ;-) So, I've lunched with HD and Lowe's - maybe it's time to lunch with Costco some day soon. I just dread going into the main part of town this time of year. I'm just not very brave when it comes to crowds any more. I like our little plot of sand down a dirt (sand) road.
If I go cheaper on the bathroom, add some extra support to the living room floor, and keep the double front doors that my dear hubby and I like -- I could almost afford a piano... decisions, decisions!
Better get all the overtime at work that I can while we are still in the "just playing" stage! My fantasies are all most certainly more than the reality of our pocketbook!
1.5 " $ 87 Floor to ceiling filler panel
18" $663 Tall linen cabinet with top & bottom doors
24" $480 Bank of 3 drawers
3" $53 Fancy filler
24" $799 Truly divine curved vanity (OK, at this point I know I'm not getting them, but it's nice to dream. The straight, "regular" ones, will save me a nearly $1,000...)

Pair that with Price Pfister's "Ashfield" collection and you will see why I am rapidly going broke (on paper, only, so far).
Today's Tip - Lists are your friends. Keep checking those things off on the To Do list. Don't let the distractions of life keep you from focusing on one of the most important projects in your life. Remember that others have "been there, done that" and have lived to tell the tale!
I am fortunate that I work five minutes from a Home Depot. Now, I know that I can probably do better on prices on some items, but since we are in the very beginning stages of all this, I am using them to get an education. By the time I start actually buying, I hope to have several prices on how much this expensive little hideaway will cost - the HD way and at least three general contractor prices.
Anyway, I hung out with Jim in the kitchen department of HD for lunch. Good for the waistline, and since I didn't actually buy anything there, good for the pocketbook, too. What I wanted to do was price out my fantasy cabinets and also get an education in them. Since I brought my book of all things that includes a quasi-scale drawing of the current incarnation, I had a scale drawing of what we are proposing.
$12,000 cabinets (honey oak)
$2,000 granite countertops (still having the dark vs. light debate)
$1,500 shipping & tax
$5,000 installation
$20,500 - I had guesstimated $20,000
But, of course, something must always bring you down to earth, and often with a crash. What I wanted for the library area was floor-to-ceiling cabinets. Very practical. Nice and warm wood... only Jim made a seemingly innocuous comment: "Very practical but kind of institutional." It never occurred to me in all my drawings and thoughts, but now I can't see it any other way but "institutional." OK, so now I guess I am going to be researching the cost of custom built-in bookcases. And instead of shelves near the entry, I'm going to leave the wall blank for a table. With a picture above it.
Other things I learned at HD:
1. The cabinets I like and the ones my dear husband likes are again at odds. He wants an old-world bathroom and a modern living room? Travertine or travertine-looking tile in the bathroom and wall-to-wall carpet in the living room? OK, so maybe we didn't really have a meeting of the minds.
2. Cabinets come in 24" and 36" widths; corner cabinets all come with lazy Susans in them, even if you don't need/want them.
3. Cabinets come in sets that do well with 12-foot long wall sections, but not so good with 10-foot long wall sections.
4. For a little under $400, we can have a 30 inch x 9 foot strip of warm flooring with an automatic timer. Not quite wide enough for both brushing teeth and getting out of the shower. Another $200 for a second 30 in. x 9 foot strip would cover enough of the front of the shower & tub and the important areas in front of the two sinks. But is it worth $600 for warm tile floors? I lived for over two years with cold tile floors... but then again, that was in a climate where the winters never got down to 8*F. (Here, again, guerrilla shopping pays off - there were price ranges from $199-$250 and more for the heating strips)
5. The color in porcelain tile goes all the way through, minimizing the visibility of nicks and chips.
My husband is eager to "break ground", but I want to live with our "plans" for a little while. Each time we look at them, we think of something else. Like making the laundry area big enough to accommodate all the "crates" for our three very large dogs. And, the first go-round we completely forgot about a closet. I want to draw side views in addition to the floor plan view. Helps me visualize.
Starting a list of items, styles and "what is a good price" so that when we are randomly shopping, we will know if something is a good deal or a great deal or something to not bother about. Also, need to calculate the "true" cost by adding in tax and shipping where necessary. For example, although both Lowe's and HD have the Price Pfister faucets we want for cheaper or the same price as efaucets.com, since efaucets has free shipping and no sales tax; it comes out several hundred dollars cheaper in the long run. A good all-inclusive price for the tile we want: $2.09 sq ft. If we go with real travertine tile: $4.34.
I am seriously thinking of getting a part-time job at HD for the discount and just so I can snoop around. Or maybe my 16-year-old son can during the summer. If he worked a morning shift, he could ride into Reno with me... Hmmm, the wheels are turning. 10% employee discount might be worth it!
Staying up wayyy past my bedtime to play with this stuff. I hope I have as much energy and enthusiasm at the end of this project as I do now.
Something I've always wanted to do: sign my name on one of the wall studs of the house - to be covered up by drywall, no doubt, but I will know it's there!
Tip for the day: Go to HD at odd times of day - after the morning contractor rush and before noon - and quiz the employees there on anything you want to know. That's part of why they are there. Bring your notebook of all things, or at least a list of questions and paper to write down the answers with. It's like going to the library, but instead of free books, you get to tap into some one's brain for free. Say thank you and make them feel like you really learned something - everyone likes to be appreciated and useful.
Cara, feel free to jump in any time. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, so it's good to see you a year ahead of us and see that you are still alive.
List-making is not compulsive - it is good for the soul. I don't consider myself very organized, but several people at work have told me I am (I am known as the checklist queen as we have a checklist for everything at work since I've been put in charge!). If I am truly considered "organized", then it is indeed a frightening world we live in. I spend my life feeling like I'm just on the edge of massive chaos.
Luckily, I like crafting order out of chaos - oh, I like beating my head against brick walls, too, in case you were wondering. And to see just how tough I could make this life of mine, I married a (now-not active-duty) Marine. After the Y2K much ado about nothing, raising three kids, and sending my husband off to summer camp in Iraq a few years back, well, building a small house might just be the relaxing hobby I need! Really, it's fun - and it is -- at this point! After all, I just have to plan and fantasy shop and budget right now. Later I have to get the money, spend it wisely, and put up with all the surprises of the actual deployment of the house. Looking forward to it and dreading it in about equal parts!

Went to HD for WD40 and while there, wandered around, looked at some bath books for ideas and looked at some bathroom hardware just for fun. My husband is definitely into the Old World look. He really liked the Price Fister Ashfield single lever sink faucet. So, of course, that set me on an internet research & theoretical buying spree. A cool $3,000 + in fantasy purchases -- and that doesn't include anything really useful like plumbing, toilets, electrical, drywall, etc. This is mostly just the "pretty" stuff.
I did look around extensively at places such as www.kohler.com, www.pricefister.com , and etc., but honestly, couldn't find anything that I really liked any better for either a cheaper or a more expensive price. (You can view the collection here: http://www.pricepfister.com/website/asp/pf_pdp_searchresults.asp?search=catalog ) Maybe I can get it at Lowes or HD for cheaper than www.efaucets.com, but the free shipping and no sales tax may more than make up for any price Lowes or DH can give me.
Today's Tip: Can ordering on line from a reputable company save you a lot of money if you don't have to pay sales tax and shipping?
Some entries from my original journal 2 years ago -keep in mind that we did NOT build this house
24 December 2004----------------
Background notes: During this time I had been reading Lawrence La Rose's book Gutted, Down to the Studs in my House, my Marriage, my Entire Life and Stronger Than Dirt (Didn't write down the author).
...In reading [these] book[s], I noticed a few common themes1. people with not enough $ can do it2. you gotta have a good support system (friends, family)3. planning really, really helps avoid some disasters4. there are some disasers that you cannot avoid no matter how much you plan5. babies happen6. a thick skull is good - too dumb to know better might even be an advantage7. it's a whole lot of work8. you can do anything with the right person beside you9. obsticals are opportunities for creative solutions - but you might have to yell about it first
4 January 2004--------------Habitat for Humanity: How to Build a House by Larry Haun. At $24.95, it's a bargain - from the library for free, it's a Really good deal. The "make it yourself tools" should more than pay for the book. The photo copies here [in my journal] are "2nd generation" - better ones are in my "building binder".
I am chomping at the bit to actually start DOING something tangible. Like buying some land. Like buying tools or sinks or wood or something. Cleaning the house and packing also contributes, buts still doesn't FEEL like it. Maybe once I see boxes stacked against the walls I'll start feeling that packing really contributes. I hope so. I feel like I'm just sitting around and waiting (even though intellectually I know NOW is the last chance I have for planning and thinking and being well prepared.) I guess I just need to find a way to make me FEEL like we are progressing. Maybe that will help me not feel so stuck in a rut and trapped.
17 January 2004---------------* cheap table saw $199* best table saw $550* french doors $500Since I ahve long term building plans - 1. metal building2. house3. chicken cooop4. garden shed/potting shed5. goat barn6. pig stye7. various patios and awnings8. whatever else my imagination can think of -I believe we shoug get a good one [table saw].Need to check around for pricing
[12/8/2006 - saw update - we bought a good one in 2005 and have used the heck out of it and we haven't even built a house yet - dog pen, dog house, 1000 feet of fencing. We got a good "chop saw", too, that has been indispensible.]
I was pleasantly surprised to find a response to my email to the county by 7:15 a.m. this morning. Looks like the project is a "go", even though there is the minor detail that the county does not allow anything remotely "kitchen-like" in the "guest house". Notice how they even go so far as to specifically list "no microwave" in their response. On the other hand, I don't actually cook, so we're not really crushed. Also, I noticed that they did not say anything about a maximum square footage. So does that mean I can have an 800 sq ft bedroom, an 800 sq ft sitting room and a 400 sq ft bathroom?! Okay, so we want a more modest living area than that, but it was an interesting thought! Have to keep reminding us that we want a modest-sized area done really well.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Here's the county's response:
Lyon County does allow "Mother-in-Law" quarters of a permanent structure. You can build your 4 car garage and put in "guest" quarters which can include Bedroom, Bathroom, and Sitting Room – NO Kitchen – no refrigerator, microwave, etc. If you have a hardship and need to look after your mother, you need to apply for a Special Use Permit. We need medical reasons from her physician as part of the application. The structure has to be a mobile as it has to be removed when your mother passes. It you want to apply for the Special Use Permit for the Mobile , you should first check with State Water Resources (775-684-2800) and find out if your well can handle another building and it would require a second septic system. The main reason that Lyon County does not allow a second permanent structures with full living set-up is because you are not zoned for rental and we do not want this to become a rental unit in a single family zoned area. We do have a lot of Special Use Permits for "hardship" cases. If you wish to pursue the Special Use Permit, the applications are on our website or here in the Dayton office.
Hope this answers your questions.
And, conveniently enough, Miss Donna provided me with the next step in the pre-feasibility feasibility study: call the State Water Resources.
Found my O-B Book! Dogeared and looking oh so good. Started re-reading it during lunch today. I can already see how our NOT-built O-B from a few years ago was not a waste of 350+ hours -- there are several things on the list that we've done and don't need to do over again. Like our basic preferences for what we want - just a 20-minute discussion with the Mr. and we re-agreed on what took us months to hash out the first time. Stone. Wood. Natural materials. Wrought iron looks. Hardwood floors. Tile that mimics stone finishes. I did a little fishing with the "what if we went 'Country'" - got the response I expected - too much white, too light colored, too much brightness. So we're looking more towards a rustic look with Tuscany/Mediterranean/Iberian influences. Deep, rich, but muted tones. Browns, burgundies, golds.
Another thing we don't need to start from scratch are "the little touches" for each room that only the O-B would care about - built-in magazine rack in the library - er, I mean toilet area, extra electrical, blocking in the framing to accommodate future moulding, towel racks, wall shelves, etc., extra wide window sills for my plant babies, at least one "greenhouse" window and on and on - we already have about 50 pages of stuff that we already agree on - just need to fit it to the current project. Of course, I am still standing on the side of the line where ground has not yet been disturbed and my rose-colored glasses are not yet broken -- but I can see a few years down the road that we go whole hog and build the home of our dreams.
We've been trading up brand new homes built by other people for the last several years, and though we are not mortgage free yet, for what we have, our mortgage is a pittance. A few more years down the road and it might be time for That Last Perfect home. Owner-built. I wonder if this will turn out so fun that I would want to become a GC and do this for a living? If I could do two custom homes a year for a tidy profit, could it be worth it? But, as usual, I am wayyyyy ahead of myself. Haven't even got blueprints and permits for this baby yet! Ah, the eternal optimism of the uninitiated!
Today's Tip - Do something every single day towards your dreams. All those small grains of sand add up to the incredible Great Basin Desert. All those tiny snowflakes add up to awesome glaciers and the beautiful snowpack on the Sierra Nevadas.
Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree, but your dimensions to me do not add up. 15' then 5', then 20' the other side, but it appears longer. If the cars are only 5' long that is great, but they are very small cars, what make are they? The size of a garage doors are single 8ft wide and double is 16ft wide, so only two singles or one double is possible in the 20' space. Making this a double garage at most. Plus the kitchen only being 5' wide once you have countertops on either side; thin people only to use the space between them?
I sincerely hope you do not mind me querying this, sincerely no offense intended.
Let me know how it goes.
Kindest regards,
Hi, Lisa -
I couldn't figure out how to get Visio to do the scale correctly. If you double all the figures, then you should get a better idea of the real scale. And, in fact, after reading some comments about garage sizes, even at 20 ft deep, it's going to be too small. Good thing we are still just playing with paper - easy to change our minds about anything and everything at this stage.
No offense taken at all. All comments are welcomed and in fact, I appreciate your taking the time to give me a reality check!
Thank you.
Greetings ~
This is our first time O-B'ing. Being a cautious and conservative couple, we decided to start small. We escaped from California to the stark and ruggedly awesome High Desert of Nevada last year. Having little time and looking for a home from several hundred miles a way, we found the perfect little 4.77 acre spot of sand (sand and more sand) and had a nice, but small, brand new manufactured home put on it. A far cry from our two-year-old, 2,400 sq ft home in the SF Bay Area suburbs - but still, the property, the proximity to the lake, proximity to the drag strip and the fact that my company transferred me to their Reno office with full California wages and no California income tax... well, there are a LOT of advantages. Not to mention the most excellent sunsets (as shown in the photo on Lori in Sparks' journal)... longer story short, lovely daughter and her two-year-old will soon be joining my husband, son and I - and this 1,800 sq ft house is too small.
We had fantasized about building our own home on several occasions throughout our nearly 20 years of marriage, but either didn't have the time, the resources, or had a bunch of small kids running around. We very fortunately timed the market right in our California neck of the woods, so just bought a new home and "traded up". This manufactured home (and 40x50 ft metal building) here in Nevada was to be our "stepping stone" home until we could build "something we really wanted" out here... but now I have 39 trees, garden beds (yes, you CAN garden in the desert), and, as they say, location, location, location.
So every time my dear husband mentioned moving, building a "real house", etc., I stammered, "B-b-but my apple trees are supposed to start bearing fruit this year... and, and, what about the daffodils? I'll have to order hundreds of dollars of them to start over at a new place." Big brown eyes well up with tears. "Besides, we have 1,800 feet of chain link fence - it'll cost $20,000 to replace it."
Big, tough, (but no longer active-duty) Marine brought down by Whiny Wife's tears (gotta save the tears for special occasions). But my dear husband is not used to not attaining all of his objectives. See hill; climb and conquer. Look for next hill. So, for "practice" and to hang out for a few years until our son graduates high school and our daughter and granddaughter get back on their feet, he says we should O-B a four-car garage with a 1,000 foot mother-in-law apartment (or parent hideaway in this case). Okay, so I took the bait - hook, line and sinker, as they say.
Started my new "Binder of All Things", my private building journal, sent an email inquiry to the Lyon County Planning Department, drafted up a "proof of concept" picture for hubby - and here I am. I put over 350 hours into planning the last house that we never built. I pulled my journal and binders from that non-project and the backup CD with all my forms for subs, cost analysis spreadsheets and original MS Project project plan (never throw anything away, never, never... the pack rat mantra) and there are several things that can be reused with little or no modification. Prices are out of date, and many things will have to be scaled down, but the magazine clippings showing the style of bathroom I dream of, the fireplace my husband desires, and such are all still valid. Along with the giant Fantasy Wish List. Good to know that I haven't radically changed in the last four years (a little more gray, but it happens).
Not going to put everything from my private O-B journal here, but I will put some highlights. I do want to note that I used The O-B Book as my guide every step of the way - and that it convinced me that I could easily project manage (general contract) the building, but that we did not have the time and energy to really do almost any of the actual work.
12/4 - three hours - heated discussion bordering on serious clashing of thick skulls that ultimately resulted in my husband's epiphany.
12/5 - one hour - my lunch - went to HD and Barnes and Noble looking for plans for what we wanted to build (three to four-car garage with an attached mother-in-law studio, single story to accommodate old football injuries - mine, not his). Ended up buying a "Fine Building" magazine as a consolation prize and also because I love looking at the ads and the websites from those ads.
12/5 - two hours - hanging out at this website
12/5 - three hours - just bumming around with all the old and new info, letting the ideas compost in the brain
12/5 - one hour - set up base MS Project plan for the planning stages; other areas will be updated as we go
12/6 - one hour - desperately looking for copy of O-B Book - I know it's here somewhere. After all, I found everything else that goes with it. Ultimately, didn't find it.
12/6 - one hour - drafting "proof of concept" drawing for husband and sending email to the county planning department (copies attached, although identifying info removed from email)
12/6 - two hours - hanging out here, starting O-B journal and surfing around at some of the websites listed in "Fine Building" magazine
Look, Ma, three days into this and we already have over a dozen hours logged.
Today's Tip: Keep all your computer files on a "jump" or "thumb" drive (back it up regularly). You can have it with your wherever you go, and if you need something when you can use whatever computer is handy.
Greetings -
Thank you for the kind words.
I am a computer person by trade - by way of the accounting department. Spreadsheets and I go all the way back to Lotus 1-2-3 before mouse support... I was also a department lead/quasi-project manager for the whole Y2K thing. Also did much of the organization and planning for a cross country and international Windows XP upgrade. My real loves in life, however, are trees, books, photography and making up projects for my family. Although we didn't build them, I bought and sold our last two houses (and bought our current one) without a Realtor - and that really opened my eyes to what features houses can offer, how much seemingly little things can affect the price of the home, and how you can save a ton of money by "doing it yourself".
Nifty tools there on Google. I like my jump drive because it's locked up, but since my husband and I work in different states at time and I travel a lot, it may be nice to have something we can share across time zones. Thanks for the tip!
Assuming you have/will have an O-B project soon - good luck with it all!
I loved reading your posts and am honored by the mention of our picture. You and your family are welcome to come see our project anytime - just PM me.

Curran reckons that British got more out of truce than Irish. Even though British lost some face, a return to fighting after truce would not have public support and IRA was out in open. Also, by threatening drastic actions (with public support) the British were likely to get most of what they wanted by way of a settlement. |
Curran J M (1980), pg 63 |

About 2,000 killed between Easter Monday 1916 and the Truce. British casualties between Jan 1919 and truce were 405 police killed and 682 wounded and 150 soldiers killed and 345 wounded. IRA deaths were about 650, which if the ~500 killed in 1916 are subtracted, would leave only ~300 civilian deaths during the War of Independence (which seems low) |

What is it that they call someone who has a fear of spiders? Let me Google that because I forgot how to spell it! Ok back, it's Arachnophobia. I don't exactly relish spiders but wouldn't say I have an extreme fear of them either. But if a big black spider was crawling on me I would probably jump a mile high…….
Canadian Dollar Bingo is one of my new favorite spot especially after they redesigned the site. It is a Parlay Entertainment software site and they welcome US players. The bingo room was active with 36 players just the right size to liven up things up and not too many where my odds of winning are slimmer.
It was BOGOF so I purchased 48 bingo cards and got a whopping 48 free. With 96 cards in all I felt I had a pretty good chance of at least coming close. I love the different patterns offered at this site with 100's to play on.
I really didn't think things were going too well because I only had 1tg on a single card. I was feeling a bit doubtful as I thought to myself how could this be with all the cards I have.
I needed O63 to bingo and as I waited my instinct was telling me I just may be able to pull this off! Like a spider waiting in a web the caller announced my bingo number and it was hallelujah time!
It was a nice size cash prize too $85.94. That will buy a whole lot of side games and slot spinning. I like the bingo rooms here because I can play so many different side games including Video Poker.
Isn't there just something glorious about the color red? It has to be the most vibrant, gorgeous, incredible and amazing color in the entire bingo spectrum!

CBC 84: Hans Sturm and the Rabbath technique • 06.21.08
We're featuring something a bit unusual for this week's Contrabass Conversations episode. Ball State University bass professor and International Society of Bassists president Hans Sturm has been featured several times on the podcast in video episodes, and this week we're featuring Hans discussing the fundamentals of the Rabbath technique left hand positioning system.This dialogue was featured in some of our previous video episodes, but it was broken up into bite-sized chunks, so I think you'll enjoy the opportunity to hear the entire segment uninterrupted!After the segment, we feature some bass news and listener feedback.

Description: NCM Fathom brings the ultimate stage spectacle - The Met: Live in HD - to movie theatre screens nationwide. The broadcast of Bizet's opera Carmen will be presented live for only one day on Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT in select movie theatres. One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen "is about sex, violence, and racism-and its corollary: freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his new production of Bizet's drama. "It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking."

Wirral actor needed to play Beatles' manager Epstein
3:20pm Monday 21st May 2012 in Music By Craig Manning
THE producers of a new play about The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein are looking for a young Wirral actor to step into his shoes.
The production, which will be staged at the Unity Theatre in Liverpool in September, marks 50 years since he secured a recording contract for the Fab Four, which lead to the release of their first single "Love Me Do" in early October 1962. He died in August 1967.
Having determinedly tried to get the his group a recording contract and having been turned down by every record company in the UK, Brian was introduced to George Martin at EMI in May 1962.
Interested in the original songs, George Martin agreed to consider an audition in the studio for "the boys" as Brian referred to John Paul George and Pete The Beatles The play will be presented by Rox Theatre and award-winning Hand-In-Hand Theatre and rehearsals will take place in Birkenhead.
It will be co-directed by Brian Mcann, whose play "Down Our Street" totally sold out at The Unity last year.
David Crosby, from Rox Theatre, said: "It will tell his story up to that point and also, inevitably, the story of The Beatles - but from his perspective.
"It is not another Beatles show or play – and certainly not a live musical show.
"It tells the story of Brian, having recently lost his father, alone in his London flat looking back on his life – his failures and his achievements - from what would be his final weekend during the Bank Holiday in August 1967."
Although "The boys" themselves are not represented in the play – a number of local personalities of the time are - Bill Harry, Bob Wooler, Sam Leach, Allan Williams – all characters in the early 1960's Liverpool "Merseybeat" scene.
David Crosby continued: "The first act will cover his erratic and unsuccessful schooling, a spell of "National Service" in the Army, a year at RADA and a failed attempt to have a career as an actor – before settling into successfully running a record department in the family furniture shops (NEMS).
"In Act 2 he discovers the thriving and unique beat scene in the city and reflects on the year of struggle against the odds to convince disinterested record executives that this new Liverpool group are going to be "as big as Elvis".
An actor aged 20-32 with a baby-face, public school accent and able to carry themselves as a very smartly-dressed successful business person.
Any actors wishing to read for the part (or other smaller parts) can contact Brian McCann on 07970627602, David Crosby on 07872563565 or email@example.com
