    Great Value in Paradise by the Sea!

    I love the river and the cypress make it look like it might have 1,000 years ago.

    Teardown Home in Rosemary Beach

    Remember that this Thread is about a 7 year old, $7,880,000 home that was torn down. SmilingJoe started the Thread Has anyone else noticed the $7.88 Million, 4500sf (built in 2001 and sold in June 2007) home in Rosemary, which was torn down last week? I guess it wasn't to their liking...

    More Yankees coming down!

    How come the equity membership? You know when I got my equity position they had it calculated at $2,500. A waiting list developed by the time it became unneccessary for me and the equity rate was $7,500. However, they only repay the $2,500 upon return. Wouldn't our "New Jill" be better with...

    Great Value in Paradise by the Sea!

    Hilton's house is listed as 9,500 square feet. How big is Dave Pearson's? (House that is) My point...are the new homes really going to be in scale? That, my friend, is going to make all the difference.

    Teardown Home in Rosemary Beach

    I don't have a chip on my shoulder against good Architects. When an Architect really knows their trade I have found myself feeling relieved to communicate with them. If you're in the business you may have noticed that some "good" Architects have dropped their pricing from $60,000 in the...

    That's most helpful. I found one with a copyright legalease notice from Cornell that I just saved in my favorites. I'm a builder and I try to keep up, but it may have taken me another decade to just stumble onto that. Thanks

    Homegirl, I know better than to argue with you:leaving: My question was for Chickpea or another of the pencil pushers, no more hints please. These Architects were charging literally $60,000 and way beyond when they had customers like fish in a barrel. 8 months and beyond into design they...

    Great Value in Paradise by the Sea!

    Fair enough. Thanks for playing stump the chump. Now we move to the next round where the questions are harder. Rosemary is nearing build out which is best for the end user. I have been watching Paradise and have seen just 4 starts in the past year which is about 10% of the buildable lots...

    More Yankees coming down!

    My family were members at Santa Rosa Beach Club. We were quite young , but we were welcomed and the whole club treated us with hospitality. What a great place to join if you are looking. They'd allow me to tee off the back nine first thing in the morning so I could get 1/2 a round in and...

    I've been seeing them too. There have been groups huddled on the banks of some Coastal Dune Lakes that look to be large birds. I also have been seeing a mini replica of them huddled in Cypress Trees:idontno:

    Is this the home and guest residence that you were talking about when you said: "Considering the potential mold issues down here and how hard it is to get rid of, I don't understand why anyone would buy one of the houses where they stopped construction and left it open to the elements for a...

    Teardown Home in Rosemary Beach

    You probably know the difference between what I was talking about and what you are talking about. I understand your point exactly. Even with Mango's husbands experience it wasn't evident when they first looked to seal up the problem. It sounds like they thought they had it taken care of...

    Great Value in Paradise by the Sea!

    That's what I couldn't find for some reason on the Alys question. I saw GAC excavators working back there, but hadn't seen anything from Alys about developing that big parcel right behind you. Yes this is a great location. I think you have a special lot for my own reason, but... Gotta ask...

    Teardown Home in Rosemary Beach

    It's hard, but fair. Everyday people hang a bird feeder or porch swing and create new penetrations. People install raised plant beds or garden trellis that can create new issues. I passed an empty vacation rental that had open windows on the third floor for over a week. Things like this happen.

    Some might characterize it as similar to paper glued on. Remember in this application it is covered and supported by the trim next. Welcome to Sealoflex | Sealoflex http://sealoflex.com/files/pdf/FabricChart.pdf

    Teardown Home in Rosemary Beach

    If you will envision the fabric for a moment, it starts it's connection at the window or door jamb and proceeds across the rough opening then across the buck and finally terminates after turning out onto the masonry. Stucco and trim conceal it.

    Teardown Home in Rosemary Beach

    Great point on flanging. That is the Simpson H2.5 detail I mentioned earlier and my drawing mis-identified. The liquid waterproofing has a component for bridging seams that is a fabric the saturates well. It wants support for larger gaps and one might choose a caulk or backer rod for that if...

    Teardown Home in Rosemary Beach

    In the case of that detail there would not be an unsupported bridge. The seam, if you will, occurs over the install flange, then over the buck, then out onto the masonry. The liquid version has one advantage that I like better than ridgid versions which is when you must turn a corner up and...

    Is there a gardening forum on SoWal.com?

    I scooped up and relocated about 200 of them. We had a lot of rain today, maybe they'll live..?? I guess if I can stick with the gardening for a couple years I'll probably be a heartless thinner, but now they're my babies.
