Witch wood be... illegal.

To my understanding here, fuel in da station's underground storage tanks, no gougin'. Refills, $upply & demand rule$.

Florida does not tolerate gougin'; including building materials, batteries, ice, etc. 'Twas an expen$ive learnin' curve fer $um businesses in da pa$t!


I second this!! All in favor.............

Hey are you guys getting this ad on life insurance on every page of ECF?? Oh and I've decided as far as my glucose level I printed out a chart on what to do and think I will get a meter and strips and lancets tomorrow at Wally world. I can get the meter 100 strips and 100 lancets for under $20. If it is the meds that are causing these fluctuations I can keep an eye on it and it's simple to drink a half a cup of juice or eat jelly beans and you just check it in 15min if it is not up to 100 do it again. Simple.

Trusses were delivered today I think. We didn't go to the site yesterday...it rained all day long. They've even done a rough grade and all those extra blocks are now gone. :D

That is sweet... Good Luck...

Very true. However when production continues and supply is interrupted there's a glut of supply. Oil company gets even richer. Insurance pays for the problem, gouging skyrockets the profits. So even if they get fined for gouging they're still ahead.

Wow nice little shack there. How many Sq feet when its all done?
Around 2600. Not sure of the exact figures without looking at the plans. With the options, flex space, curved facade on the office space, it adds up a few hundred from the basic floor plan. It is the K elevation.


Hubby's office is the parlor/5th bedroom. We are keeping the closet so we don't have the french doors and it will have the normal bedroom entrance. With an open floor plan, we like to maximize the wall space for all our pictures that we've accumulated through the years.

Looks great, Robin, and the house ain't bad either. :thumbs: I hope you'll take more pictures, because I'm curious as to how roof trusses are installed on concrete block walls. Not that I know much about construction; just curious.

I am too! I know that the fasteners are delivered. They are in a box inside the structure. I noticed today that they have marks at the top of the walls every so often, I'm assuming that that is where the trusses will be placed with the fasteners. Couldn't measure them but looks a bit closer than a foot apart but very regularly spaced.

So exciting! :banana:
