yessir, not really sure where I want to put it other than on the side where the driveway is, obviously.Originally posted by Chili View PostLooking good DJ! Where's the shop going, at the end of the driveway?"If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

The cement is laid out perfectly for the door to be right there at the end. Like pull in the driveway and keep going straight instead of hanging the right to your attached garage. I LOVE all of that seemingly flat concrete though. It's going to be awesome for you.Originally posted by Baron Von Crowder View Postyessir, not really sure where I want to put it other than on the side where the driveway is, obviously.

yessirOriginally posted by bcoop View Post1 acre lot?
Shop will be a bit wide to be right there, but that is basically the plan. I had them route the sprinklers away from the area behind the driveway, and stop the sod too. I'll extend the driveway up to the shop door. It's going to be behind the house. Ill likely put an electric gate up where my drive ends now.Originally posted by Chili View PostThe cement is laid out perfectly for the door to be right there at the end.

Ill get a better pic, but they poured the drive past the garage entrance but not far enough to touch the shop."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

we were talking september, realtor got involved, then we were talking mid/eng july, now they are looking at end of june. I am not complaining a bit.
The only delay we had was getting ready to pour the driveways, the ditches were full and they couldnt for about a half a day on mine, a full day on my brother in law's down the street. After the concrete was done, they have been full steam ahead."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

It's pretty nuts, the house next door is already on contract, but it's smaller and cheaper. We're looking at one and waiting on a couple that should be coming.Originally posted by shumpertdavid View PostFriend of mine listed with a local realtor here in Whitesboro, had a showing and contract started in less than 6.5 hours same day. The real-estate market around his is crazy"If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

My agent isn't doing anything special on listing mine, but he's quick with responses to questions, he's on the spot with everything so far. I have zero complaints with him.Originally posted by War Machine View PostHousing market is hot. It's nothing the agent is doing special. A monkey can sell a house in this market.
Shop agents, I have 3 agents that will sell a house from 1 to 2 percent.
The builder, in the other hand, has every lot on my street sold and I'm process. They haven't broken ground on the street behind me, and hand deposits on 17 of 33 lots as of last week. He's the agent that lists the houses that they build to sell. He got a bit of pull, since there are houses that sold before me that aren't as far along."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

updates!
We're looking at mid next month for closing. My frustration level is through the roof, we lost our THIRD contract this morning. None of them have had anything to do with us or the house necessarily, just people with issues.
Sheetrock is up, tile is in, cabinets and counter tops are in. The back patio is poured. Brick is in process.
I really like how the wood-look tile came out.
