Bad juju. Then again, he was pushing way more power than I'm willing to experiment with.

Plus another 6-9k second property tax bill... And that's just the stuff I know about! Guess I get to keep dreaming! But it sure is tempting. Mostly boredom induced though, I think. Different class for racing, can experiment with aero then too... Oh right. Fence and gates need attention. Need to sort some electric issues in the house. Yay life!

My plan was to go W2W with my car, but the more I dug into it ultimately I can't afford it I'd be doing like 4 events a year and not have a streetable car anymore. If I stick to TT and track days I still have a streetable car to enjoy on the weekends and I can afford to do more events.

Not yet... need to have some money first before I start trying to come up with building plans. I spent all my cash buying the land so selling the other house is the only way I can afford to build. I have spoken to the town planner though about the property and he gave me some suggestions so fingers crossed. Once the money hits the bank then I will start dealing with the builder and the town.

Lucky. I have two pieces waiting in Japan because EMS is still stopped due to COVID related logistics. My friend checked UPS back in like February, but it'd be $200.. I'd love to get them but I don't think I'm that desperate. I think once EMS is running again the shipping cost would drop to maybe $60-100 at most?

So, will your house be on septic or can you connect to a sewer system? City water or a well? |

Geothermal guys still recommend having a standard heater because the ground loop can't always keep up. About doubles the cost of the system.
And I haven't checked in a few years, but the typical life expectancy of solar panels is about 10 years, where the break-even point on install costs was hovering around 12-15 years...

Cost overruns are a given... When you need something done to keep the build on track cash is king... but: It is very common for contractors to have cash flow problems and delays... they WILL pressure you for money before tasks are completed Banks are neutral and will not release payment until the task is done and signed off/inspected. Contractors know they can’t play the pity game with a bank. Look into it

Things may be quite different for you, but for me the process is more like: 1) Survey 2) Soil testing 3) Architect draws up preliminary plans 4) Civil engineer does grading/drainage plan 5) File for permits (grading, building, water/sewer, etc) 6) File with the coastal commission (pretty sure this does not apply to you ;-)) 7) Public notice/hearings... 8) Structural engineering 8) MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) plans 9) Builder's plans Roughly 1.5 years before breaking ground. Ugh!
