    Sky - Development for homeowners off the grid

    Perhaps, perhaps. Perhaps not. Construction is planned for "2009" h/w/r ewe here cannot find the website in a quick-like-Ram-in-heat-mounted-on-me Google search. Allegations of fraudulent use of the term "Architect" certainly does not persuade land development financiers. Is she and Bruce...

    Way to go ST JOE!

    Aside from the potential up/downstream consequences, one item in the St. Joe revelation that rankles ewe is the pseudo-greening of RiverTown. They tie in with the Guava Tomato Macaroni Estuary, throw up a picture of a braindead, flowered pre-menstrual (soo cute, isn't hers?) and Whoosh -...

    Sky - Development for homeowners off the grid

    Er, I meant mid-March Madness...I suppose. Nonetheless, our fav pseudo-Architect (confirmed?) was emailed and we had wonderful electronic discourse....for two days. I emailed her, she emailed me, I->her->I, etc. Then I enqueeried about her architectural status and if I might be invited to come...

    Chinese Drywall - Beware

    You live a sheltered, closed barn door life, my friend. :biggrin: FDEP approached WCI over a year ago on this issue as WCI had installed the largest known amount of this Far Eastern crapolappa. Lot of good that will do. Thems being all bankrupted, sheared to the skin, and all. :shock:

    Why do people continue to engage "trust" especially in one (unqualified) person over so many different disciplines? I have yet to meet an Architect who has the wherewithal to be entrusted with this many duties. Limit the trust to your hired gun Engineer. Put him on your hip, not out in front of...

    The fundamental problem in this part of this thread is that people, those that do not crap in a barn :blink: , see the building process traditionally. Owner hires Architect. Owner hires Builder. Owner might hire Engineer. Owner sets out the bid from the Architect's plan bleat blah baaaaaaaaaaa...

    Although I have worn the horns of the Contractor, I am not. I am a partner in a development firm in SW FL. One of my jobs is to hire hired guns who overseer the entire ground to sticks in the air. Then I close the barn door. So to bleat. :eek:

    Incorrect as I have explained previously. The HomeOwner only has to know how to hire the Overseer.

    There should be no war, racial denigration or whipped cream that allows the cherry to float through it. I wouldn't begin to let the Architect hire anyone for me.

    A custom build should have an independent engineer overlooking the building process, the Contractor, his Subcontractors. The Home Owners custodian. Hire a homeowner's engineer/vigilante. Let him administer the bid and let process.

    If this isn't a superb lesson in doe-passing, I don't know what is. A custom home has only one ultimately responsible party for seeing its appropriate completion. The Home Owner. If he is incompetent to do so, then he must place his trust in the team which is the Contractor, his subs...

    Wetlands, Mitigation and Development

    Although there is little to deny as factual, the article's bias to wetlands failures falsifies the overall picture. There are significant restorations and creations of wetlands, the most important of which (imo) are those which have become mitigation banks. Often within these restored and/or...

    St Joe stock appears to rebounding, why?

    FYI JOE has acquired a $100M LOC with BB&T, yet unused. Think of it as a black Centurion AMEX card you tossed into your sock drawer in case of short term need. Bridge financing of sorts.
