How are real estate prices there these days?

Not bad. The way I would do it is buy property. My friend has a portable saw mill. What he has done is harvest timber and build a house with it! Sell some of the timber you are money ahead that way. We have talked about building and selling homes...to much overhead.

Some words for you.....



"The World I Know"

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why.

Are we listening?
Hymns of offering.
Have we eyes to see?
Love is gathering.
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.

"54 40, Lads!"
"Huh? It's WHAT?! 2016?
Sorry.Wrong century.My bad."

I know a few people that have done that. Always seemed like a lot of work to me! Lol!
I built my house myself but I bought all my lumber. It still was too much work! Lol

If you mill your own beams, number one, knot free...you can trade those for studs all day long. He mills lumber fast, very efficient.
I want to build a log home "kit" A few semi truck drops off the material and you go to town on it!!

I originally was going to do this. I even picked out the kit and was lining up a contractor to pour the basement for me. When I was told how difficult obtaining insurance was going to be and how difficult it is to sell a log home because of mortgage companies not liking to write loans for log homes I decided to just build a colonial instead.
Sometimes I wish I had built the log home instead though.

The problem is the wood used. Red cedar.... my fav. 2nd groth Redwood does not have the tannin that the old groth has/had so it rots a lot faster. I should know better ..Years ago I was hired to finish a log home, it was too much for the client. It was treated pine. You can treat it all you like it ain't the correct material.

Now days the ICF home is the trend. Insulated Concrete Form. I think(Viking pours another whiskey...) Forms that you build the house with, then fill them with concrete, up to 10" walls. But...I work with traditional materials WOOD!
They use metal roofing a lot also. Any color you want, 75 year warranty? Sure better then shingles but I don't install metal roofing....so....
Stick frame 2 by 6 walls always 16" on center. Hardiplank siding.
If I could afford it, Lindal cedar homes for sure!!

I haven't seen icf used for walls up here. But I have seen a fair amount of basements poured with icf. It's for sure the way to go. I poured a slab myself, and I insulated 4' down all around my slab with foam board to ensure no frost got under the slab. It works awesome. I also have the raidient pex in the slab but haven't hooked it up as I also installed a pellet stove and a pellet furnace because of fuel costs. The furnace is identical to this picture.

Hey Dram what are any signs and symptoms if all 8 cylinders aren't firing without doing a diagnostic?

Listen to the exhaust note, vibration, check engine light. What's it doing?

Changed fuel to the expensive stuff. Put injector cleaner in it today so I'll ride that out. It's been pausing only sometimes for no apparent reason like the power wasn't there. Push the accelerator long pause, then it catches up. Not all the time, but sometimes. I think I'll have a tune up done for the heck of it. I had a diagnostic done at Autozone because of the check engine light. They sold me some pressure regulator for the fuel tank. Have to drop the tank. Guy said he did that once but doesn't guarantee the check engine light will stay out......

 

[Togreenfeet]

No vibrations......

 

[bill from lachine]

2GF,

Glad you're finally getting some good vibrations....

 

[dieselram94]

Ok, do you smell any gas/fuel out the exhaust? Is it really sooty? I think all this goes back to to much fuel pressure. The thing you got for the tank is not likely the problem. You need a fuel pressure test and verify what the pressure actually is. It's likely the fuel pressure regulator is bad and needs to be changed. Or if previous owner really did install high performance pump it may be making more pressure than the regulator can take care of. I really don't understand why previous owner would have installed such a pump on a truck with a stock motor. Seems really asinine to me. If you keep running with to much pressure it's likely to foul the plugs, plug up the catalytic converters, and cause hesitation and low power...as your experiencing. Let me know...
