I've always been really Brucey when it comes to my lawn, but I think it may be time for a change. I got a really steep slope wrapping around my corner lot. I wouldn't pay a kid to do it either. Too dangerous.

Mods ---- move to mowing threat please.

Oh hell no. I hope you have garage construction in the works.

Most likely soon. We are more in the city than anticipated. So it's a how big of a backyard do you want debate.

Fyi I just had a 2 car garage bid out and it came to 38k.

That seems about 20k high at least

What's the $/SF on that?

EMAWican · « **Reply #305 on:** April 08, 2016, 02:34:40 PM »

Detached or addition?

We have concrete pull-ins right now so it's not like we are fighting for street parking. Only downside is the winter, but both have auto-start and they are about to legalize doing that again soon.

I'm sure we will eventually add a garage but not in a hurry at all.

Does your 38k bid have tons of windows/oversized or what? Seems high from the GC i talked with.

I had it include space for a wood/metal shop for me. Not a huge space. Also included a full height loft for storage/misc stuff, pouring a new driveway, James hardy siding, timberline roof... Pretty much top of the line everything.

If I can get the price down to 25k or so I'd pull the trigger tomorrow.

you're gonna end up with tom hardy siding if you're lucky

Skipper44 · « **Reply #312 on:** April 09, 2016, 11:54:31 AM »

Just don't do Ed Hardy, it will kill your resale

Institutional Control · « **Reply #313 on:** April 09, 2016, 12:19:05 PM »

James Hardy plays 82 games for the Rockets, dates a Kardashian AND puts up siding? What a stud.

Construco/LandscaperKats.. Does adding a simple sliding gate to a fence increase the price significantly of said fence?

I'll help with the KCFDgarage if he has beer available. I'm pretty good at falling off ladders with no recordable injuries. Hopefully that is a useful skill.

Chain link? They can be expensive for sliding drive gates, hard to say overall without knowing the size of total fence, but you could easily expect it to cost $1000-2000 without operator.

Dub · « **Reply #324 on:** April 18, 2016, 03:17:23 PM »

Not chain link. Wooden. And significant meaning would to be 1k+ more than just wrapping the fence all the way around without a gate that would be sized for a car to drive thru.
