![]() ![]() Because we are a true custom home builder, it’s next to impossible for Texas Tiny Homes to provide you with a reasonable price without your detailed input on every item of the home. We are only able to provide a ball park estimates for free, as per the formulas below. A detailed specification of your wants and needs and wish lists takes weeks to compile, so unless you are willing to pay for that time we are not able to provide you with an exact price. If another builder provides you a firm price without first doing a specifications with you and then getting formal bids they are inexperienced or they are going to give you a small amount of selection options, that fall within their profit margin expectation. If that’s the case, they aren’t really a custom builder, they are more of a production builder.Įxample Of Specifications Necessity: What type of foundation will be used to construct your home? Will the foundation be constructed with wood piers and wood beams and a wood floor system? Will the foundation be constructed with concrete piers, and concrete beams and a wood floor system? Will the foundation be a concrete slab? Will the slab have concrete piers supporting it? If so, how deep will the piers need to be, based on a soils report and an engineer’s design and seal? Each of these options have different prices. The same amount of option variables apply with items like the insulation package, the windows, the roofing materials and the exterior facade. We had hoped that our appointment today might involve another ultrasound and a chance at discovering the gender of our babies.Will the exterior be all stone, all brick, all wood siding that is painted or stained, or will it be a combination of some of those items? The choice is yours to make, but each have different prices involved and it takes a lot of time and energy to determine an actual price. It looks like it will be 4-5 weeks before we have a chance of finding out if we’re having two little boys or two little girls. ![]() Hershey (the baby-ninja) had recommended that at 17 weeks we start having ultrasounds every two weeks to watch for Twin-to-twin Transfusion Syndrome, our health clinic has opted to not have our next ultrasound until week 20. We met today with a midwife and her trainee at our Women’s Health Clinic, and we did get to hear both of our little ones’ heartbeats. They both sounded good, and my blood pressure was fine. As our appointment was winding down, the midwife mentioned that we had a condition called Velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord which might mean that it would be better for me to have a C-section with my twins. (Yes, I had never heard of it either.) She seemed surprised when we quizzed her on what exactly that meant and asked her to write down the name for us, but she explained and also pulled up a web page on it. Fewer than 9% of twin pregnancies have velamentous insertion as a complication, and it adds a bit to the risk of the pregnancy. ![]() I must say, if you are going to tell a pregnant couple that they have some new oddity to their pregnancy, you shouldn’t be surprised when they don’t just nod and say, “Oh, a watchyamacallit. ![]() Okay.” The medical term likely means very little to us (until we can research it). ![]()
