Congrats, build it quick before they change their minds.

[RBeckman]

Hold on there King Mosabe, my grandfather Chief Running Bull to me that that 20 acres you want to build on is an Indian ancient burial ground. I'm thinking Hank should call and tell them?

[FlintTony]

Congrats, build it quick before they change their minds.

I'm on it. Got the excavator bringing in fill this week-end. Should start construction the second week of Nov.


Ric, It woudln't surprise me if they don't have a department just for that. They have one for everything else.

[Hank70SS]

Good news Tony. Now you get to deal with contractors instead of the gubment.

[Ms Grumpy]

Congrats Tony. You worked hard for this, and it is going to happen. Then you will have a big party and invite everyone. :)

[Bowtie-Bri]

Congrats Tony,
With all the crap you've been through will help you appreciate your new "Crib" that much more!
Ms. Grumpy that party thing sounds like a good idea! I wonder how many we can get into Tony's Nomad. :banana:

Congrats Tony. You worked hard for this, and it is going to happen. Then you will have a big party and invite everyone. :)

[FlintTony]

Made a little more progress. All the fill is in, graded, and ready to go. Contractor will start Monday. Temperory power pole is set, power hooked to it, portable toilet is on the job-site. Gate is done too.

[mestorod70]

Hope i get an invite for beer and shooting from the back yard porch.
Congrats on your huge victory.

[flash]

Congrats ,better to deal with a contractor anytime than the govt .At least you can fire the contractor if you need to.

Sure. Where are you at in Fl? The guy that did the final grading asked if he could deer hunt on my property. He set up a trail-cam, but I haven't heard back from him about what he caught on it. I'm in the Northern part of Citrus County, Dunnellon.

[Ms Grumpy]

Glad to hear things are finally going your way.

[shadowgray396]

I thought you were in some kind of gate community or some kind of neigborhood association that was trying to stop you from building. Is it leagal to hunt around your area? The last thing you want to do is have someone shoot the pet deer in your area.

[flash]

Or your donkey if you get one .

[FlintTony]

I thought you were in some kind of gate community or some kind of neigborhood association that was trying to stop you from building. Is it leagal to hunt around your area? The last thing you want to do is have someone shoot the pet deer in your area.

That was last year. I had 3 acres that was in a HOA. The guy had 350 acres that he sub-divided into smaller parcels, some 5 acre, some 10 acre, some 20 acre, and the small 3 acre lots. I wanted to build basically the same thing on the 3 acres that I am building now. The HOA didn't think I needed that big of a garage. We ended up going the legal route. They finally decided that I could in fact build what I wanted. They said the building was too tall, but the Covenants of the HOA say you can't store a motor-home outside. I had to show them the actual dimensions of a MH and had to make them understand that you can't put an 11' foot high vechile in a garage that is only 10' tall. But, after finding out what a bunch of ass-holes a HOA can be, I wanted no part of them. So I sold that property and bought the 20 acres I have now. It is very secluded. There is wildlife galore on the 20 acres. I'm only about 1/8 of a mile from where I was before. I had no idea the power that a HOA has. They can tell you what color your roof can be, what color siding you can have, what landscapeing you can have. I researched Section 7.20 of the Florida code extensively, which deals with HOAs, and was shocked at how many rules they can put in place and enforce. My brother was the first one to buy property in there, I was the second. All the members in the HOA bought years after we did. The HOA rules consisted of 11 rules when we bought. After the millionaire lawyers bought property, they made new rules. The rules now consist of a book that is a half an inch thick, with all kinds of legal mumbo-jumbo. They actually did me a favor, as the 20 acres is a million times nicer property.

[Hank70SS]

It all worked out for the best Tony. I can't see you living under the thumb of an HOA. I know I wouldn't want to.

[shadowgray396]

I agree, I won't live where they have an HOA either. My wife found a house she loved that had one, but I couldn't even have a car trailer at the house and they had to approve the color of the house. Glad you found a place you can enjoy and do what you want.

[Ms Grumpy]

It is so sad that society is telling you what you can do on your own property. I understand that it is supposed to make sure that the neighborhood stays nice. But sometimes it just goes too far.

That's moving right along. Looking good.

[FlintTony]

Crew was busy today. This is the storage building-shop. It's 40x48x14' high.

[RBeckman]

Interesting building process. Looking good and at 14 feet a lift could go in there no problem. Are you plumbing for a bathroom?

[FlintTony]

Yes on the bathroom. I'll put a 3/4 bath in the shop, two full baths in the house. There will be a 6' whirlpool tub in one of them.
They do all the roof framing that is possible on the ground, then use a crane to set the trusses. I've never seen it done that way, but they build a bunch of these post and beam buildings that way. Doug says everything that they have done so far looks very good. He is real picky too, so that is a good sign. So far, they are ahead of schedule.

[carpoor]

Use of a crane for the trusses is very common here in FL. My family's construction company used to "stick build" everything by hand up in the northeast.

Looks great so far, hope things keep moving. The weather has been decent.

[Hank70SS]

...They do all the roof framing that is possible on the ground, then use a crane to set the trusses...

Okay, now it makes sense. I thought that roof line looked a little low. So what's the schedule look like for having it roughed in? Looks like they're moving along pretty good.

[FlintTony]

I talked to the building inspector for the County today. I had a few questions about the plumbing code, as I found conflicting info on the State site and the County site. Turns out the County has it's own set of rules and those are the ones I need to follow. The inspector has been out to the job-site twice, not for inspections, but because I asked him to have a look at the Contractors work. He is impressed so far, says they are being pretty meticulous about everything. He said he tried to find something to make him think "where in the hell did he find these clowns"? Couldn't find anything, which makes me feel pretty good about the crew.
Carpool, that's the way we build up here too. I've set some trusses that were downright scary to flip into position. The shop I have here is a two story and we set these with a flipper pole. Hang on!! Here she comes!!!
Hank, I don't have a solid date for completion. The crew will do the shells only, then Doug and I will do the rest. I may have the HVAC done by a friend of mine, will have to see what his time frame is. I plan to go back down right after the first of the year to do the plumbing and electrical ground work. When that is done and inspected, the concrete guys go in. I want to get the well and septic done after that. Then I can take my time. I don't want to be down there working in the summertime. Too hot and muggy for me. Remember, I'm a cave dweller.

[RBeckman]

First off there is a issue with only a 3/4 bath in the pole building. If Hank and I come down in his motorhome there needs to be power on the pad that we park his motorhome on, and I'm sure we will not be allowed in the house, so I think it would be a good idea on your part to have a full bath with a outside entrance from the motorhome pad. I have attached a few pics of what I'm thinking for the bathroom.

3021

3022

If no full bath, this is what you will see when you get up in the morning and see from your deck.

[flash]

That last pic is a scary sight ,which one of ya'll is that ?

[shadowgray396]

That last pic is a scary sight ,which one of ya'll is that ?

Amen to that

[FlintTony]

Ok, OK, Ric. You get your own full bath! When did you take my picture? I don't remember seeing you that day when I was on the porch. Maybe I was too involved in the phone call?

[FlintTony]

A little more done.

[RBeckman]

Very cool, I can't believe you are not down there during this exciting time. But I know your charible organization "Strippers without boarders" need you at this time of year.

As for the pic, I took that just before you made lunch for everyone.

[Hank70SS]

Looking good Tony. Now you won't hit your head when you walk inside.

[shadowgray396]

Looking good, what I could see past the finger in the photo. Lol

I took a couple pictures of my project last week and my finger also got in the photo. Dang small camera's.

[flash]

That is shaping up nicely ,wish they had pics of the crane hoisting the trusses up ,never seen one built like that .

[FlintTony]

I didn't get any pictures from my brother for two days. He had to go out of town. I'd like to see them set them too.

[mestorod70]

Save some of the leftover wood for my target stand.!

I'm a pack-rat. I'm keeping all the scrap! I had my brother make sure those 6x6 cut-offs are put in a safe place.

[Hank70SS]

Maybe you can collect enough scrap pieces to build that blueberry stand out at the road.

[FlintTony]

Maybe you can collect enough scrap pieces to build that blueberry stand out at the road.

I should be able to make a nice one! You gonna come down and run the stand?

[FlintTony]

More done today. The crew is done until Monday. They are supposed to set the posts for the attached garage on Monday and start roof sheeting Tuesday. The place is looking just like I envisioned when I started drawing it out.

[RBeckman]

Looking good Tony, can't wait to see how the house framed as I can't picture it yet with all the 6x6's in the ground...I'm thinking some sort of wrap around porch?

[FlintTony]

Yes Ric. The front, side, and rear all have an eight foot porch. I'll screen in a section on the rear, off the kitchen, for a breakfast area.

[Hank70SS]

I should be able to make a nice one! You gonna come down and run the stand?

I thought Ric and Brian and I were supposed to pick them, now we have to run the stand too?

It's really shaping up nicely Tony. You're going to have a really nice place when it's done.

[mestorod70]

From the prints...looks like you have some bob cats.
This is where one of those game cameras becomes fun.

[FlintTony]

I thought Ric and Brian and I were supposed to pick them, now we have to run the stand too?

Yep. You guys are gonna be the "worker-bees". I'm going to be the BOSS.

[FlintTony]

I was hoping someone would be able to tell me what they are. Thanks. Wonder how my dogs will act if they set a cat that size?

[RBeckman]

Yep. You guys are gonna be the "worker-bees". I'm going to be the BOSS.

So nothing is changing?

[Hank70SS]

Yep. You guys are gonna be the "worker-bees". I'm going to be the BOSS.

Okay BOSS MAN! I'll run the stand, Ric and Brian can pick the berries. They can take turns, one picking, one keeping a lookout for bobcats.

I know, Ric and Brian are thinking WHAT? Remember guys, I have to deal with the public. People trying to steal our, I mean Tony's, berries. Trying to bargain on the price. You guys will have it easy.

[carpoor]

I was hoping someone would be able to tell me what they are. Thanks. Wonder how my dogs will act if they set a cat that size?

If they are smart, they will run. Those things are viscous and will tear you to shreds. A deer slug or .308 round will fix the situation permanently.

[FlintTony]

Looks like I will have to promote one of you guys to "Wild-life management". I can supply the fire-arms and ammo, but you must use ammo sparingly, due to increased cost. One shot, one kill.

[Hank70SS]

Guess I better start doing some target practice. I don't trust Ric or Brian with a weapon, don't want to get shot in the back while I'm trying to sell berries.

[mestorod70]

Here are some bobcats in my backyard.
They keep the smaller criters at bay.
They dont mess with my cat..they wont risk geting hurt in a fight.
Im pretty sure you cant go shooting them willy nilly but i think there is a
season for them if you must.
I personaly think they are verry COOL.
Whatever you do...FFS dont shoot a panther...its big jail time.!

[RBeckman]

Guess I better start doing some target practice. I don't trust Ric or Brian with a weapon, don't want to get shot in the back while I'm trying to sell berries.

You can't shoot them till you see white of there eyes.

[FlintTony]

I wouldn't shoot them for any reason except for my own safety, and I figure if I leave them alone, they will leave me alone. One of the reasons I'm building in the sticks is for the wild-life. I likes me some wild animals.

Until you leave the front door open and in comes a alligator or the Bob cat.

Well, that too I guess.

[flash]

We had a Bobcat come inside our shop at work a few years back ,he was not afraid of us either ,he used to nose around looking for food .He was very scrawny ,almost sick looking ,but never bothered anything .

[RBeckman]

I'm sure Kathy will be feeding it so Tony will have a pet Bob Cat in Florida...hope the dogs like it.

[FlintTony]

I have some new pictures. Will post them in the morning. I gotta go do dishes.

The dishes can wait ,come on with the pics .

Going to be one very nice shop

[FlintTony]

Holy Crap Tony. That is going to be really cool. Are you gonna keep the porta john ? lol

That thing cost me 60 bucks a month to rent. The code says that I must have one on the job-site. The septic tank was installed yesterday, should have an inspection on it today. Next is the well, then I'll get the ground-work plumbing done. Hope to get down there right after the first of the year to do that. I want to get a water closet hooked up and working ASAP, so I am not renting that one.

Yep , should be a pretty nice shop. 40x48 with 14' sidewalls. Lots of room for a lift.

If I'm hogging too many giggerbites, feel free to dump all these pictures Nancy. I'm thinking all have seen them that want to.

Gotta leave them until it's all done so we can see start to finish. That water closest isn't going to be a crapper on the front porch is it? Like the pic Ric posted.

[FlintTony]

OK. Got some more today. Crapper will de excatley like the one on the porch.

Framing is done. Septic inspected and passed. Contractor is starting the facia and roof steel

You're going to put Kathy out of a job!

Guy in the first pic looks like "Uh Oh, what do we do know?"

Going to have to swing by while we're in FL. If you're not there maybe Doug can let us take a look. Like to see it in person. t's going to be awesome Tony.

[FlintTony]

Depends on when you are going to be there. I'll be there the first couple of weeks in Jan. Unless something changes. If not, Doug will give you the 50 cent tour.

[FlintTony]

OK. I've been messing around on the computer and I think I figured out how to put the property info on here. I'll post it and if it works, cool. If not, I'll keep trying. Oh wait, I can click on it myself to see if it works.

Well I'll be damned!! I made the pictures come right through the air!!!

[FlintTony]

Got some more done. Contractor should have all the roofs on by this weekend. I'm really liking it so far.

[Hank70SS]

Looking good Tony. That's going to be an impressive place when done.

[flash]

Looks very nice ,are you planning to live there year round or just a winter get away ?

[Ken Hayes]

Hope ya dont get any hail storms down there........gonna sound like a gazillion machine guns goin off with that roof. Lookin good Tony. That link had some real neat pics.....is that your land in em?

[FlintTony]

Yep, gonna make some noise in a hail storm. I'm putting 6" of open-cell spray in foam insulation in the ceiling, so it should quiet it down some. I'm planning on just spending the coldest months down there for now. The link I posted is to my property. It actually surveyed out at 19.75 acres, but I am in the process of doing some swapping with the neighbor for 2 more acres. He wants acess to the river from my canal, so in order to keep from building another road on my place, I'm trading him for a road that is already there.

[FlintTony]

Looking good Tony. That's going to be an impressive place when done.

Thanks Hank. Not a bad joint for an old, long haired, busted-up, tattoed biker/plumber, if I may so so myself.

[FlintTony]

Guys been busy. Roofs are done. I am really digging the way it looks.

[RBeckman]

Looking good, I can't see were Hank's camper is going to go yet.

[FlintTony]

I'm going to clear a spot in the woods for him. I don't need to see his ugly self looking at me all the time. And he makes a lot of noise.

I stopped by Hanks house the other day and he has the motorhome all packed ready for the trip down to your new place. I have a picture below so you know what size it is and get the woods cleared out.

Moving right along.

Wow! Hey Hank, when did you get the new motor-home? It looks a lot better than your old one!

[Hank70SS]

Ric, that pic was taken before I was done packing. I found some old lumber we can use for the blueberry stand, threw that on top. I was going to tow a car down there but I may have to switch to towing a trailer for the house warming gifts I'm taking for Tony and Kathy. Basically a bunch of stuff I need to get rid of. Don't worry Tony, I'll wash the motorhome before we get to your place, so it'll look a lot better than in that pic.

[flash]

Hank ,on your way down stop by here and I will throw some junk ,I mean house warming gifts in as well.

[FlintTony]

Contractor is done for now. No more pictures until I get my lazy ass down there and get the plumbing and electrical ground work done.

I hope to be there right after the first of the year. MIL is getting out of the hospital Monday and coming to stay with us for a while. Don't know how that is going to go. We'll see.

How about I bring some of this miserable ICE with me?
