Majors are pissed off at VG because they believe that they have gotten screwed by them.

VG is contractually obligated to supply gas to them once the facility is “commissioned”. Prices are locked in as well.

VG has argued that the plant isn’t 100% commissioned but is able to supply gas to customers who buy the gas on the “spot” market.

This has resulted in billions of dollars to VG while the majors like shell get no gas and have to buy elsewhere on the “spot” market.

The courts ruled in VG favor I believe but it has left a bad taste in some people’s mouth.

what the frick is this play calling??? can we not mix in a screen or draw?

Very nice. I can probably get away with something smaller but I worry about accumulating more tools and stuff.

I've ready some of the questions and I'd like to mount a vise or two onto that wooden top but the manufacturers advises against it but gives no reasons.

Have you mounted a vise or anything like that to the top?

Can’t believe this isn’t satire.

Yep just did. Looks like they did do an escrow analysis and will be sending me a check for a healthy sum. They are still estimating my property taxes to be nearly double what my neighbors is which is odd. Not sure why that is but I should have some more clarification tomorrow.

I recently completed construction of my house and we moved in around Labor Day.

Since it's a new build the tax assessor hasn't taken into account the value of the home yet so our parish taxes were low compared to when it will be newly assessed.

I went and looked at my neighbors property and they are roughly all within 4-6K range.

When I went into my mortgage account I noticed we have nearly 15K in escrow after paying the mortgage for 5 months. At the rate we are going I would have nearly 50k in escrow when this years property taxes are due. Has anyone had experience/success with getting the tax assessor to do a new assessment prior to the end of the year?

Im happy that we have a good bit in escrow comparably but id like to get it revised to the close to the correct number so my mortgage payment is lower.

I bought them in Lafayette the same month I bought my lot. C&C Appliance on pinhook I believe. lead time was 6-7 months but I knew I had about 12 months until I really needed them.

I'd say probably not. Im sure there are different codes for that area. My house is in the Lafayette area.

We did a post tension slab, and have painted brick on most of the exterior and then some jut outs for the master bathroom is antique brick that we will leave unpainted.

Looks amazing! Very interested to see your write up. I would love to get a big mule deer down there

Does anyone have experience with contractors who build retaining walls? I probably need two for my future landscaping. Ive talked to a few landscape companies who say they can do it but it seems like no one really specializes in them. And when they do mention retaining walls I can see the dollar signs adding up.

I don't think I need any piles or things like that driven in the ground. im not in a flood plain. I was thinking railroad ties or something like that as a solid foundation.

Ive dealt with some contractors lately who bite off more than they can chew and while the price was good the end result normally means I have to do it myself.

I would have engineered drawings from a civil firm more than likely but when I go to the Acadiana home builders website it leaves a little bit to be desired for contacts.
