Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

Exactly. But some of it, I was rewinding and laughing my ass off.

Btw, did @Bannerman get fully challenged at the laneway today?

 

End of the lane way, no degens on the property.

 

My list is a mile long. It’d be better if we built, but I want to build a “near passive” house. Not much more expensive to do, but the GC needs to be up to speed with high performance building practices - not the old school methods.

 

Less about the GC and more about the architect and what is speced out for the house. You just have to find a GC that knows the products, willing to push the subs to do it right, and learn if he/she doesn't know. There are really good design build firms the types like Matt and such run in a pretty tight knit community they know one another and are constantly pushing the envelope.

 

lol ive seen some clips on facebook that are funny but not enough to make me watch it

 

I found one here in Charlotte, but forgot what their firm is called. I’ll see if I can dig their name up again.

 

No, turns out he was made of spare parts.

 

You need a really good realtor that works with your architect to find a plot of land that can do such. That is one of the most critical parts in passive, get a shitty lot it's gonna cost you 2x as much easy to try and get it passive. Your SO will also have to be patient as those things take lots of time.

 

3 storage units and a boat here.

Let me know if you find it.

 

thats a lot of stuff dang

 

I don’t care for the certification. “Close enough” would still be damn close to passive and good enough for me (depending on if you go by PHI or PHIUS standards).

 

got enough members to open a second position...

 

I don't care for the certifications either they are pretty much pay to play so you can show off look what I have. I was just saying you need a realtor that understands this also not just the architect. Doing a project like that is far more calculated and thought out than yep that lot looks good lets build a house typical decisions work.

 

for sure. I totally get what you mean.

problem is getting SO on board with this...it would be soooo worth it long term though.

 

All the stuff. Don’t realize how much you have until you have to store it.

 

ya or move it lol i thought i only had enough for a single trailer load but nope lol

 

It’s a brand new day, how are we all feeling?

 

How do you nerds keep tabs on this thread? I check in a few times a day and it's always like an extra ten pages long. LAWLZ.

 

Btw spotted this gem in uptown yesterday, wonder what he was hauling.
