Building a new house is it a good time?

[richierich75 10+ year member]

well i didnt read anyones post but im going to give my 2 cents since im in sales for a construction company... short and sweet. great time to buy a house, bad time to build a house. all industry prices are about to go up. steal is going up 25%, concrete is going up a ton, everything is getting raised significantly. not just a few %...

yeah, that's what typically happens when a recession hits - inflation; and what hurst even worse is that the dollar is worth less than it was last year and it's not getting better anytime soon.

He's a shelf stocker at WalMart. I don't think he has the qualifications.

True, good point

you live in Lima, that's why - (not knocking Lima, my old roommate is from Lima)

around me you are anywhere from $150 - $200 sf

location, location, location will determine the price you are paying.

A salt water pool is wicked retarded unless it is sitting next to the ocean.

Your post is extremely ignorant.

· A salt water system in your pool or hot tub works by creating its own chlorine. How does this happen? An electric current is passed through salt water in a chlorinator cell. Basically, a chlorinator cell splits the salt into sodium and chloride. It then releases a chlorine gas that dissolves in the water. It is through this process that the water in a saline pool is sterilized.

· Saline not only sterilizes the water, it prevents the growth of algae.

· People who have reactions to chlorinated pools are generally reacting not to the chlorine but to other chemicals and by-products. They generally do not have a problem swimming in a saline pool -- it is much less irritating on your skin.

· Saline is much easier on your eyes than chlorine. You might have assumed that saline would sting your eyes like the salty ocean does. In truth, though, the ocean has a much higher percentage of salt. Saline has very little salt in comparison.

· Swimming suits worn solely in saline pools last longer than those worn in chlorinated pools.

· Saline feels softer on the skin and does not dry you out as much as chlorine.

· The cost of installing a saline system into your pool is high, but in the long run it can be less expensive.

· You do not need to deal with expensive and dangerous chemicals when you have a salt-water pool. You only need to add common salt (and you do not even need to add it often, since the pool system recycles the salt). Sometimes you need to add pool acid as well, to balance out the pH levels.

· Saline pools are environmentally friendly – no chemicals.

In sum, a salt-water pool is safer, less expensive (in the long run), healthier, and better for the environment.

ROFL

Don't be so hard on him, after all, he is just a monkey.

It is still wicked retarded. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Rather than sitting on your *** and claiming something is retarded, why don't you explain why you feel it is retarded.
