#Home Building

A beautiful home 🏡

[netscapenavigator-official]

The only time I ever boot up The Sims 4 these days is to build a house to act as a consistency aid for stories I'm writing. And even still, I just boot up the game, and I'm just like "ew." None of the swatches match, the roof and floor auto-hiding are so buggy. I just... yuck. People always say they're "builders" and "cas" simmers and that live mode is just too buggy to enjoy playing, but tbh... Build/Buy and CAS are the same way, these days. I just don't enjoy them anymore.

I literally opened The Sims 3 to see if I'd have any better luck, and I fell in love with the game all over again. Even so many years later, Create-a-Style is such a useful tool for making things work. The treatment of foundations and floors compared to TS4's Room Tool is soooo much better, omg. Words can't describe how much I love The Sims 3's Build/Buy mode. The only things I wish it had from The Sims 4 are alt-playable and half-tile windows & doors and a more flexibility roofing system. That's it. Everything else, just ugh. It's so nice building homes and not having to worry about swatches matching. I pick a 3D model, and then I make the wood swatch. Everything matches. Everything is beautiful. The end.

Hopefully soon I will have a very small house built (>700sqft). But i worry i wont have it built to my values inspite of my limited budget, including using sustainable and energy efficient building materials and features.

This article is a bit reassuring of my options if I can afford them, at least a long way down the road.

50 Years of Marriage and Mindfulness With Nena and Robert Thurman

Ms. Thurman had a small inheritance, and the couple bought nine acres on a hill here in Woodstock for $7,000, cleared the land and put up a few tents and a tepee. When the VW Microbus in which they had traveled through India died, it became a planter. Then Dr. Thurman had a commission to translate a Tibetan sutra. He saved $3,000 to build a house, Ms. Thurman said, “which was enough to either hire people and dig a cellar, or buy lumber — we decided to buy the lumber.”

They began with a post-and-beam cabin, sketched out by Dr. Thurman and added to in fits and starts by his children, other family members and graduate students pressed into service over the years. Visiting lamas urged them on. “A triumph of American do-how over know-how,” Ganden Thurman, now the executive director of Tibet House, likes to say. “My father is maybe not a master carpenter. His tendency is to solve problems with a liberal application of force.”

“Why do it right when you can do it yourself?” he likes to tease his father.

Robert Thurman will reply: “Why do it yourself when you can pay someone else to screw it up for you?” - source NYT

THE CHRYSTIC MASHUP - MOTHER EARTH FATHER SKY 104.1% CRYSTIC HAPPINESS FOR ALL CHILDREN🌻 #tool

A report produced by the Joint Economic Committee Republicans in 2022 estimated that a prior, more ambitious Lee proposal to sell off Western BLM land for housing development could lead to the construction of 2.7 million more homes and completely end the housing shortage in states such as Arizona, Nevada, and Wyoming.

For all the criticism, Lee's current proposal is rather unambitious. Per The Hill's reporting on the latest draft, it would require the sale of between 0.25 percent and 0.5 percent of BLM land. The land could only be used for housing, and it would have to be within five miles of an existing community.

National parks, conservation areas, national monuments, historic sites, battlefields, and every other type of public land that people actually like are explicitly protected from being sold off in Lee's bill.

If anything, the problem with Lee's bill is that it puts far too many restrictions on the sale of federal lands and thus won't meaningfully alleviate the West's housing affordability problems.

Still, any new (privately developed) housing is good housing. If Lee's bill gets a few more units built, all the better.

▶ Save money without overdoing it! Thorough explanation of owner-supplied housing

@aoisouken_official←For other useful housing information, click here! What is “Jishu-supply”? When building or remodeling a new house, the owner of the house purchases lighting and water fixtures, etc., and asks the construction company to install them for him or her. Usually, the construction company or house builder selects and installs the equipment , but in the case of owner-provided housing, the owner selects and purchases the equipment himself/herself .

Advantages of owner-supplied The most attractive point of owner-supplied is that you can freely choose the equipment and building materials that suit your taste. If you use online shopping or outlet stores, you may be able to obtain the materials at a lower price than usual. You can get close to your ideal while keeping your budget low. In addition, there is the satisfaction of being able to take an active role in the construction of the house.

Things to keep in mind On the other hand, there are some points to keep in mind when you are supplying your own equipment. Equipment that you provide yourself is not covered by the construction company's warranty in case of problems. In addition, it may take more time and effort to select products and adjust delivery dates, which may increase the burden on the customer. As a result, additional work may be required and the cost may increase.

Equipment suitable for owner-supplied Not all equipment is suitable for owner-supplied. Items that are relatively low-risk and easy to be supplied by the owner include lighting fixtures, curtains, mailboxes, towel rails, etc. that do not significantly affect the performance of the house. On the other hand, large equipment such as kitchens and bathrooms can cause problems, so careful judgment is required.

Points to avoid failure To ensure the success of the client's supply, it is important to consult with the construction company in advance at and confirm whether the supply is possible and the conditions required for the construction work at . Be sure to check whether the dimensions and specifications of the selected products match the construction work , and pay attention to the delivery date and timing of delivery . Cooperation with the construction site is essential to ensure smooth progress. Conclusion Shohin-supplied housing is an effective means to create a home that is uniquely your own. However, behind this freedom comes responsibility and time and effort. Preparation in advance and solid cooperation with the construction company are the keys to success. To create a satisfactory house, please visit and try to make good use of the client-provided services.

▶無理せず節約してお得に 施主支給を徹底解説 @aoisouken_official←その他の役立つ住宅情報はこちら！ 1.施主支給ってなに？ 施主支給とは、住宅の新築やリフォームの際に、 家を建てる施主自身が照明や水回り設備などを自ら購入し、 施工会社に取り付けを依頼する方法です。 通常は工務店やハウスメーカーが設備を選んで施工まで 行いますが、施主支給では、設備選びから購入までも 自分で行います。 2.施主支給のメリット 施主支給の一番の魅力は、自分の好みに合った設備や 建材を自由に選べることです。 ネット通販やアウトレットなどを利用すれば、 通常より安く入手できる場合もあり、 予算を抑えながら理想に近づけることができます。 さらに、家づくりに主体的に関わることができるという 満足感もあります。 3.注意したいこと 一方で、施主支給には注意点もあります。 自分で用意した設備は、トラブル時の施工会社の保障が 受けられません。また、���品の選定や納期調整などの 手間がかかり、負担が増える可能性があります。 結果的に追加工事が発生し、費用がかさむことが ありますので注意が必要です。 4.施主支給に向いているもの 全ての設備が施主支給に適しているわけではありません。 比較的リスクが少なく、施主支給しやすいものは 照明器具やカーテン、ポスト、タオル掛けといった もので、住宅の性能に大きな影響を与えないものです。 逆に、キッチンやユニットバスなどの大型設備は トラブルになりやすいため慎重な判断が必要です。 5.失敗しないためのポイント 施主支給を成功させるためには、事前に施工会社に 相談し、支給可能かどうかや工事に必要な条件を 確認しておくことが大切です。 選んだ商品の寸法や仕様が工事内容に合っているか どうかを必ず確認し、納期や搬入タイミングにも気を配る 必要があります。 スムーズな進行のために、現場との連携は欠かせません。 まとめ 施主支給は、自分らしい住まいをつくるための有効な 手段です。しかし、その自由さの裏には責任と手間がかかります。 事前の準備と施工会社とのしっかりした連携が、 成功の鍵を握ります。納得のいく家づくりを目指して、 施主支給を上手に取り入れてみてください。
