Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! The company that I ordered the trusses, engineered beams and joists for my house from back in December no longer wants to honour the price we agreed on. The deal was I ordered them in December, they deliver them in May, the price is set. Well I guess they never bothered to set aside any materials because now they don't want to make them for that price. Materials have nearly doubled since February, so I have a good idea what that original $32k is going to look like.

GreenNight posted:Did you sign a contract? I ordered through Home Hardware*, so it's sort of between them, but my understanding is that they don't usually do that as this situation is not something that has ever occurred or has been considered. Edit: *I put the down payment (half) on my HH account, they order the trusses, when they arrive they pay for them, take the funds from my account and the other half that I pay them. The system is very rural Ontario and Covid just showed how it can be abused. I imagine that my situation (should it not be resolved satisfactorily) will be the impetus for it to change. So, Yeah. I'm likely screwed. The guys at the HH know me, and are trying to hash something out, but the truss company can probably just refund me without any issues on their end and not lose a shitload of money.

Yeah, you're screwed. My folks signed a contract a few months ago for a new build and the exact same place is now 20k more. Good thing they locked in. I told them if it keeps going, they can just sell their new build for a good profit. But gotta live somewhere.

Blistex posted:Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Lumber is insane right now. Demand through the roof, and so are prices. I work for a lumber yard and some of our branches almost can't keep up. We have truckloads sold before they even hit the yard in some cases. We are already over $30 USD for 7/16 OSB. We'll probably see $50 at the rate its going. Some types of plywood have already went well past that. We've had to change our policies on quotes; only honoring prices for like 1-2 days now.

In the midst of the clearly-emptied-before-the-photo-shoot sex dungeon and see-yourself-loving-at-every-angle-bed, I almost missed that that photo is of a "The Ring"-esque girl coming out of a TOILET. Edit: Ok, maybe it's not a toilet...I guess it's just a round...container...of some kind, but whatever that circle thing behind her head is, it makes it look like a toilet.

Well, Home Hardware went to bat and must have went in swinging. They negotiated a $5k increase which HH will eat. I guess they threatened to get corporate involved and also asked how many other truss suppliers there are in province.

tetrapyloctomy posted:Nice! I really like the floorplan. Thanks. I wanted something that had a dead-simple foundation (removed the fireplace so it's just a rectangle now), two storey, master upstairs, two bath, and OC living/dining/kitchen. The loft was an added bonus. Wife and I were looking to buy, but nearly every house we looked at had MASSIVE red flags (back in the 1960-70s a lot of people built their own houses with mixed results, and there were a few prolific contractors who did absolutely appalling work*). Anything that was not a horror show was at least 40-100% more than the year before. -sump pump running 45 min straight -20' exterior wall, second floor bulging ~6" -waist-high water marks on basement walls -structural cedar -realtor has talked about the yard for an hour -structural spray foam -4" exterior walls. Not 2x4 walls, 4" in to out -Realtor: "I'll go up the stairs first". -a floor that made me seasick -an addition that was approx 5° off from main -five bedroom that was a 3Br five months prior -asbestos floor + ceiling tiles -1940s home made entirely of sawmill offcuts *-Realtor: "why do you keep saying this is a George Peters job? What does that mean?" Me: <unable to place realtor's business card into the room's corner because the card has 90° angles>

I'd maybe convert the space you save in the hallway to another closet to make up for the lost one, though? (I'm not from the US either, so this may just be cultural habits speaking.)

Thanks for the compliments. Floorplan changes: Master bathroom is shower only and I'm stealing a foot from the bedroom and closet. Also dropping the window in the closet. Laundry closet will have a waterproof floor with a drain (just in case). I'll probably fit a small laundry sink in there and run forced air to the master behind it. Going to have stacked washing machine and dryer. Full basement (9' actually) with furnace and on-demand water heater. Eventually storage and a rec room, bathroom, and bedroom for the in-laws. Fireplace is being replaced with a sliding patio door. Transoms removed from end wall and two windows having 2' removed from the bottom. (More than enough glass on that wall. Kitchen sink against the back wall and inserting a window above it. I'm hoping to pour my footings this month and get started, and move in by September. Will probably start a build thread when I do.

NoneMoreNegative posted:I found this thing on a random Tumblr post I like that they do with TVs what most people do with wallpaper. Interesting seat setup too, but they are limited for space in the parlor alcove or whatever the hell they choose for the room they actually use, vs the fireplace room that looks like they wanted to entertain, but had no friends. It very much looks like a house I would build in a video game where each room or feature unlocks without any indication of how it will look or any opportunity to see in advance to plan a cohesive structure.
