| Subject: | [roatan] We got our house. |
Well we finally worked out an agreement with the owner on the price of the house. Afraid it's going to delay some of the remodeling we had planned. We're planning on coming down for a week over the Thanksgiving holidays and do as much as we can in a week and get someone set up to finish what we don't. We've decided not to insulate and panel however since it appears that the builder didn't wait for the wood to completely cure and dry out we are going to pretty much have to caulk all the seams in the house walls and floor to seal it. Is there a certain calking that is used down there that works better then others or is this something that I should throw a couple 100 tubes of it in my suitcase and bring with us? We want to leave the walls and floor the natural wood inside so again what have you found that work best down there or would I need to pack a couple gallons of clear coat here and bring it also? I'm sorry that I haven't returned emails from all the people that have contacted me wanting to know where it is It's been crazy around here trying to get caught up at work and dealing with this.The best I can tell you is it's a 700 square foot 2 bed rm/ 1 bath cottage located on a little over one-quarter acre in Sandy Bay by the property formerly known as the "Bird Park". It's a little, well I'm not real sure what the color is, kind of a red with blue trim house. I can walk straight out to the beach and see two piers one each direction and we're right in the middle. However I don't know who's they are I'll find this out later or I'm sure one of you are going to tell me. Now that we've come to a price agreement on the house I need to find someplace local for the furnishing. I've had a couple people recommend me to men who custom build but with the time limit and a little tighter budget now I need to be able to pick it up or better have it delivered while we are there since we won't have anyway to pick it up. We don't want anything fancy just plain I guess you'd call it island style however it would need to be fairly strong for rental use. We are also in need of a ref., stove and yes an AC unit we want this option, if we could find these used it'd be great. Due to the large amount of comments on this from people we'll go with a gas stove so we will be needing a gas tank also and will hire someone to install, run the connection piping and install as part of the other work we need completed that we don't get done. Any help with this would be great. Thanks ReplayTV: CNet Ranked #1 over Tivo! Instant Replay & Pause live TV. Special Sale: 50% off! | |
