We’re about to sign a contract with a General Contractor for home renovations...I’m pushing for him to add a clause about penalties for delays beyond the timeline (e.g. for every day late $50 reduction in final payment) - things outside of his control like delays on appliance delivery, etc aren’t included.
Has anyone here successfully gotten their GC to include a penalty clause like that? I’ve read some horror stories online about GCs so want to protect us as much as possible.
Yikes! Just checked and its 19 at the house. Still lots of snow on the ground looking at my webcams. I prefer to fast forward through Spring there lol. Summer is amazing though...upper 70s/80 is a great break from here.
I'm not Mrs J but I have to +1 this post. That stuff is GREAT - versatile, great taste, and well priced. I love when they have a coupon on their family pack of that. I find myself using it in every season too.
This is helpful, thanks. We’re considering the Tesla panels + powerwall for our new house we’re buying this month. How was the process working with Tesla on the design/install/etc? I do like the look of those in the picture you shared.
Yeah, I realize we've had legit March snows over the last 10 years in DC, but hard to argue with seasonal trends this winter. I'd wager if the area sees a winter storm in March, it'd be 37 degree rain in DC. I'll pass on that for spring weather.
Why cheer for warm during a winter month
To me, March is spring especially in the city/close in burbs. I realize NW/mountains is a different story.
While I don’t want 100 degrees right now, I do want normal/slightly above and sunny. I’ll pass on cloudy/drizzle and low 40s like a March “winter storm” would bring to DC. This anomaly map would be 60/low 60s...sounds glorious.
I used to hate gin in my early 20s....thought it tasted like pin sol. Now in my mid 30s, I LOVE it especially during the colder months. Costco's Kirkland brand is actually really good.
