[Archive] Hey Willmark where have you been?

Willmark:

(Just in case you were wondering, if not then ignore this message)

Last summer health issues, this summer moving and eventually building a new house in the fall. Wife gets first floor laundry so the basement becomes ALL MINE!!! gaming, sports watching! Awesome!

Anyways the next several months until probably the begininning of next year will see me on sporadically. The staff is aware and with Xander back I can take a step back. I’m not leaving the Staff (you won’t get rid of me that easily) but I just wanted to let everyone know what’s up.

Additionally here is my current house we are selling: http://tomzubert.myrochome.com/propertysearch/propertydetail.aspx?MLSNumber=R162321&MLSMarketCode=RochesterNY&leadsource=remaxcom

We are on a ton of websites with the listing, shared via FaceBook, etc, etc. In short we’ve pushed as far as we can in terms getting the word out there. We’ve already considerable interest in it so fingers crossed we get it sold soon.

Once my new house is underway I’ll post links to it. This also explains why I haven’t been working on WoH or my army, simply not enough time in the day/week.

Xander:

Glad everything is proceeding according to plan. Hopefully it continues to do so. :slight_smile:

I should really get something going for WoH… why do summers have to be so busy?! :stuck_out_tongue:

Willmark:

Heh we are going to have to move twice too: out of our house to temporay digs then to our new house.

And talking about timing: if it happens the way we are expecting we will be moving into our new house right around Christmas.

Anonymouse:

Hey Willmark, were you gone? :stuck_out_tongue:

Good luck with the house, mate.

Willmark:

Update: now in my temporary digs. My family and I are living with my parents until our new house is built.

Current house should change ownership next Monday.

My new house is at the blueprint stage. Here is what the new house will look like. Sorry no Zigguarat.

are you sure you couldn't fit a ziggurat over the garages?

snowblizz:

I’m assuming the outbuilding() to the right is the games room…

(
) I may be referring to the main house and expecting the family to live in the cars in the garage, but hey, some sacrifice is to be expected to make room for the important things in life

Bolg:

Good luck with everything (:

nitroglysarine:

Damn that is a nice house for the price.

We paid 3 times that for a 4 bed in the UK, and that was considered cheep!

Borador:

Oooh that’s looking like a very nice house!
Good luck with everything (:

I tried but Hashut deserted me. So I stettled for the basement from where my Dark Lord duties will recommence.

Willmark:

As of 11 am EST I’m free and clear from my house. I no longer own it, Woot!

Now onto the next steps with the new house: the builder should start on digging the foundation for the new house within the next 2 weeks.

From there is game on. Earliest we may get the house is late November. Latest is Dec 15th by contract. Builders here can pay hefty fees for late delivery so they usually pad some time at the end, hence why it should be done by the end of November.

rabotak:

congrats and all thumbs up!

like the thing about hefty fees, where I live its probably safer to let your house be built by the russian mafia, at least they know the meaning of the word deadline :sick

Willmark:

If I get a spare minute after the part time job tonight I’ll upload some photos.

Since the last update foundation has been poured (rather then block by block)

Walls are up and they are putting on the roofs.

Garage trusses are up and sheeted and roofing should commence by the end of the week beginning of next week.

We’ve lucked out here in western NY as the weather has held off nicely. Next few days there is rain but back to sun on sat Sunday.

Willmark:

As discussed here is the pictures of the house as of this morning (10-11-11) More has been done but I wont be able to get over there until the AM.

snowblizz:

Is that just smack dab in the middle of nowhere?

Looks a lot like the country side back home. Pineforests and some sorry sod who built a new house in the middle of the nearest field.

Willmark:

It’s in the country yes. However last house in the housing track as the track itself is not complete.

So at the current time no houses immediately to either side.

snowblizz:

Ah so it is in a sense a “developed” or “planned” area? As it would be termed here. You’ll eventually have some neighbours to complain about / socialise with. (I’m on a really slow connection and it refused to show larger pictures so I haven’t studied it in detail, there was quite a number of them :D)

Friend of mine is currently building in a similar location (I’m told he has walls and stuff now, haven’t seen it for a bit) though he is among the last, I think there’s one vacant plot still, of a total of some 6-8 in that “area”.

How close will your neighbours end up?
