Are you talking the old style timber frame where you have exposed beams and post everywhere? If so probably one of my favorite building methods, either that or logs. You just can't beat the look and warmth of wood in a house, and the larger the timbers the better. Plus if you ever need to put a nail in to hang something up, you know right where a stud is. Good luck with your house and your trading. Bob H.
Lescor, you mentioned somewhere earlier that you take your setups as a matter of course once they are in place. However, do you ever override any setups because, although they may be technically in place, the price action nevertheless appears a bit wonky? And if you do override and pass on a setup for this reason, does it happen very occasionally or with some regularity? P.S. Nice house.
Hi Lescor (from a very old custom builder) Make sure you get a release of liens from your contractor on all his subs.(at settlement) Grading is important around the house (usually about 6" per foot away from the house) Extra insulation in the 4 garage ceilings. These are just a few things that come to mind after looking at your sketch ( I'm sure your builder is aware of the above) Hoping to contribute in my area of my expertise in your great journal God luck with the new house cheers johnl
I too am a long term professional plumber and would like to know what model of urinal you're going to hang in the garage of your new house. Can we now get back to sharing gems of knowledge, please?

That's Dennis Bolze house. He is in jail ATM due to running a ponzi scheme..... I don't think I would want to follow any of his systems.
LOL, it's true. We were talking about Bolze over a year ago. Where ya been http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/jan/09/investors-may-be-mostly-european/ Bolze plead guilty in Nov to fraud and money laundering. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 15th...
Had been away. Can show a link to your "talking about Bolze"? Edit >> Had been following his mansion-building for a couple of years in his blog after following the exploits of TheBigCheese in ET (anybody remember his hilarious narrations? haha) , but had been away for some time. Thanks, Brocklanders, for the link.
