Our havasu house build..

[2FORCEFULL]

I've been asked to post the havasu house build thread here...

if this thread bothers you, stop look back at the line you crossed and do not continue...

we owned this lot to keep from someone blocking our view , then decided to sell our house and build on this lot...

the lot is about 180x 80 x 65 in the front1693716938169391694016944169451694616947

first thing I did was grade the lot, I built the stack retaining wall across the back my self... had masonry and more do the cinder block walls

[WMC]

This should be our first house build thread. Thanks 2FF

[2FORCEFULL]

after many , many days of drawing floor plans, I settled for this 3br 2 bath, with detatched 40' deep boat garage with a separate 1 br 1 full bath guest room169481694916950

I took my plan and paid to have it drawn to havasu code

[2FORCEFULL]

next, I went to Richard at affordable homes in havasu to pull me a permit,

and started gathering sub contractors to do the different operations...

so now, I have a graded lot, approved plans and building permits,...I had to pull 2 permits, one for the house, and one for the detached garage,,

the reason for the two buildings was so I could get closer to the rear property line... I ended up at 10' because of the pue utility easement

I have the driveway graded, the rear and front retaining walls....

so the next thing is to trench for under ground power ,water and sewer, followed by forms (RAILS) for the footings and slab1695116952169531695416955169561695716958169591 69601696116962169631696416965169661696716968

LOL. So you'll be blocking their view? Hahahaha

[Unforgiven]

Steve, I just want to know when it's done so I can bring the red oak pit over and start BBQ'ing...btw..I'll bring the boat so I can store it in the garage with all the other boats...

[2FORCEFULL]

LOL. So you'll be blocking their view? Hahahaha

what happened was I put the house up, andeveryone said, who owns that lot... so I pulled the listing... so this guy comes over and says , why did you pull the listing, I wanted to buy the house,.. I said because I'm gonna build on that lot and figured i'd get it done then move... he says, don't you have another place across town that's empty... I give you cash right now and I don't care about the view....sold...lol


Steve, I just want to know when it's done so I can bring the red oak pit over and start BBQ'ing...btw..I'll bring the boat so I can store it in the garage with all the other boats...

ok...

[2FORCEFULL]

ok, so the slab is done...1698016981169821698316984169851698616987

the power is under ground, as is the sewer and water line from house to detached

[2FORCEFULL]

next, we waited for a framing crew,, we had the lumber pac, and trusses


169891699016991

[2FORCEFULL]

framing took forever,..so many changes and things wrong...
I got ask'd a million times.."hey steve,what do you wanna do here?"

Steve, Fock the nutswingers.. Out of all the people you know in Havasu, and from the Boards, Dont let A few "Clubhouse Members" ruin it for you. I'm right there with you, but I'm not gonna let it ruin my day. I've met a lot of people from the boards, and 99% are great people.. There's always gonna be the "Cliques"..

Blue Board is not "new" it's been around for quite a while and is used for "Veneer Plastering" and is not the same as Green Board either, cumon Steve you should know this stuff.

It seems things change so fast in construction these days, I have a hard time keeping up. Damn when I build a few homes we had a hammer, square, level, chalk line, nail puller, tape, skil saw and extension cord, oh yeah a pencil. Never used a crane, we used ropes and pulled the trusses up by hand. These days they got made with all the new stuff. Yeah I'm old,,,,,,LOL.

I'm thinking the living room area is alot bigger than the video shows

It looks unique, I didn't have time to check it out yesterday. I wanna see it when I roll out again soon.

I hope the driveway approach will allow for a big v-bottom boat and trailer later some day (resale).

[QUOTE=2FORCEFULL;32855]they got the brown coat on the stucco today, about 10 days till they do the color coat, going a dash finish with allegro


Really that soon ? I'd wait a few more weeks if you can, and keep the thing wet, If you can't do it then get one of the guy's to spray every day.

So it's better to wait longer but then keep it wet as well? Purpose?

Why do you want to wait longer(which will make drier) yet you want to keep it wet?

[28eliminator]

So it's better to wait longer but then keep it wet as well? Purpose?

Why do you want to wait longer(which will make drier) yet you want to keep it wet?

watering it will help it cure slower, hopefully limiting the amount of cracking prior to the Color coat. But there would be no reason to wait more than 10 days.

We are actually using a new product on our homes that can be smooth/color coated immediately after scratch and Brown. So far it's worked very well.
