So, Tornado Sirens went off in the City of Ames yesterday afternoon and immediately as the City of Ames' sirens went off, Jack Trice's tornado siren/warning message came across the speakers. Good to know that there isn't a delay in sirens between City of Ames and Jack Trice. -

By per diem you mean liquidated damages? Per diem would be the Contractor's Responsibility for their workers...not the University's. If I remember correctly, the Liquidated Damages was $200,000 or something like that and didn't really matter how late they were cause they "couldn't put a value... -

New Homes: Walk-Out Ranch vs Two-Story?

$125 is a good number for a standard bedroom...bigger bedrooms such as master's bedrooms could be $150-$175 per room depending on amount of cutting required. Small bathrooms $75-$100 because a lot of cutting around toilets...master bedrooms obviously would be more because added space and... -

Any concrete experts onboard?

Lot Type - Walk-Out, Daylight, Flat
I agree wholeheartedly on what you are saying, our realtor has even said the same thing on numerous occasions. We are building this house with the assumption that it will suit all of our future needs and there isn't a need/desire to resell house in the foreseeable future and upgrade our living... -
Lot Type - Walk-Out, Daylight, Flat
In-laws have a flat lot and while the basement is small it is usable but doesn't have that inviting/open feel to it. Dad has a daylight and that would be our 2nd option after walk-out. -
