    Thanks for posting. So sounds like you spent 72 per Sq ft with half of that being finishing with you own labor?

    Thank you all for taking the time to post. I will take your guys advice at using 60-100 per Sq ft while at the same time emailing a GC on price to build one. I think you guys are probably right where it would be a better deal and less headache to get one with it already on the property.

I found that in the winter the ice will melt and if they can find their way under the mats they will stay down there. When I bought these from the previous owner...

    HOA vs HOME MECHANIC

    My 2 cents on the HOA is that sometimes you can't avoid it. When I was looking for a house I was looking in a particular neighborhood area that belongs to a particular school district. I read the hoa rules and all seem reasonable and driving around the neighborhood I can see that everyone keeps...
