^ IIRC it was $20.00 installed (glued and nailed) for ours. We looked at a few “machine” scraped floors but the cheese factor was way too high. You could see a machine had made a pattern in each board.:bloated: Why spend $12.00 on something that looks fake? We really wanted the house to look 100 years old. I will get better pictures that show the floor better. ---

Def. get some better pictures of the floor though! ---

The outside is starting to take shape. Obviously some clean up and landscaping is needed. Here is a crappy cell picture of the front. ---

Thanks. I actually got my taxes lowered a little bit! I am not sure how much yet because you can not get a straight answer from the assesor’s office. You would think they had a form with the exact numbers but they just verbally ramble various charges for a bunch of BS. I swear she said something about dividing by the Bill’s rushing average.:gotme: I will know once I get my bill. ---

One of the great things about SIP(structural insulated panels) construction is that windows can be easily added just about anywhere at anytime with a simple chainsaw.:snky: (My assessment is high enough.;)) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/in-our-new-house-finally/46093.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/in-our-new-house-finally/46093.md?page=5)
