I’m 17 and I’ve lived in the same house, built in the early 1980s for my whole life. My parents are buying a plot of land and are going to build a custom home. They want to know if I’d like anything in particular in my room.
What kind of features would you get in your dream room and bathroom?

what does everyone think about modular homes?

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:11:38 +0000

I am wondering why people have such a negative stereotype about modular homes. I have been a modular home builder for MANY years all over the East Coast, and I have found that the process is easier, the quality is better, and there is a significant cost savings.

What are your opinions about modular homes?

I am not talking about mobile homes or manufactured homes….

Check out my website for homes that I am talking about;

Thanks!

Hi,
Modular homes are designed in such a way that the furniture and other items are adjusted and does not take much space. In modular homes, there is place for every type of item that is to be used in house.

What is the ratio of vacant foreclosed homes to homeless people?

admin — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 06:13:35 +0000

The number of bank ceased homes to those persons with no homes if expressed as a ratio —

3 homeless peoples per 1 house ?

4 houses per homeless person ?

A lot of homeless have lost their homes and it is not economically feasible to let them move into an empty foreclosed home.

It is a grand gesture but someone else owns these homes and we need to be fair to all people.

How many "empty" apartments are there? Why not move homeless to apartment? Many more could be accommodated.

With the house come a host of other problems like utilities.
Who would pay for these?
What about transportation?
How would they get to the grocery store?
How would they find work?
At least apartments are usually on the bus line.
Apartments are easier to be all utilities included. Less of a strain on tax payers.

What can I do now to start a custom home building Company?

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 04:29:43 +0000

I’m in high school and I want to own my own custom home building business. Unfortunately I don’t know much about construction. What can I do now to get started in this career? What skills should I learn?

You need to take some classes on architecture and maybe some type of electrical classes and you need to learn how to do plumbing and roofing which can be taught to you by a person who already has the trade. I would say maybe you could contact some one already in the business and maybe think about helping them with a job first. Learn everything before you start. You should talk to your guidance counselor and see what college classes you need to take and what colleges you need to consider.

What are some issues that commonly arise with modular homes?

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 05:38:33 +0000

Me and my mother are considering a modular home and someone informed me how one of hiss sister owned one and that all they had was problems but after speaking to sells rep he assured me they are built just like stick houses. Same building codes, woods, structures, framing, etc.

So could someone with more knowledge weigh in? Thanks

All homes have issues. Depending on the manufacturer some modulars are built better than stick. Anyone that disagrees, I would challenge them to take a stick built home on a road trip. It’ll fall apart in the first mile. Modulars are built to withstand that punishment….other than that, a home is only as good as the quality of the materials used to finish it. Wood is a given, but the quality of the receptacles, plumbing fixtures , lighting fixtures, counter tops, and cabinets and flooring will all differ by manufacturer. So shop wisely and if you have the option to leave some things unfinished and hire someone to do it, by all means. If you can’t afford it then just do it later. That is the good thing about them. They are modular.

Why is it rare to find homes with swimming pools in England?

admin — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 04:06:11 +0000

I live in Brazil but I travel constantly to the UK (in fact it’s one of my favorite countries), however one difference I’ve noticed is that I’ve never found a home with swimming pool in England, while in Brazil the homes in any upper middle class or upper class neighborhood have swimming pools.
Why aren’t swimming pools common in England as well?

In England swimming pools ARE popular in the homes of the upper middle classes. But they are indoors so you can’t see them. Also why are you going around looking over the Walls of peoples gardens looking for swimming pools? Be careful, I don’t know what brazil is like but in England you will be arrested for such things.

Trying to make fliers/website for my foundation company for home builders.?

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 03:50:14 +0000

I need to catch the attention of home builders with catchy slogan/motto/phrases, what ideas do you have?

There are sites with tools that help you come up with fictitious names, including: wordlab.com, wordoid.com, lingzini.com, namestation.com, some of these tools look up the domain name availability as you go, in the case you want to go big time and spend some $10 a year for a dedicated domain name.

The word smith members of wordlab.com might have good suggestions.

Be sure to get a Facebook Page for the cause, it’s just the sort of thing Social Media is best for.
