A Good Home Has Good Bones, Minot Real Estate 101

 

 

If you are looking for a new home it's great if you can check out the "bones" before they get covered with insulation, sheet-rock, texture, and paint. This Tivoli Custom home is in the perfect time frame for a good "bone" inspection.

You will see on this home that 2 X 8's are used for all exterior walls as well as the wall between the garage and the home. All studs are 18" on center not 24" like most competitors. 9' walls on the main floor and vaulted ceilings through out the entire 2nd story.

The garage door is 7' high and the garage will be insulated, heated, sheet-rocked, textured, and painted.

A high efficiency furnace and the best of windows will keep your dream home cozy and the heating bills minimal.

If you want to see this home in it's "bones" state call me soon before it reaches it's next state of construction.

No BONES about it, Tivoli Homes and National Marketing Realtors is your BEST choice when you want top quality and service.

National Marketing Realtors, Bob Timm

Hi Bob "RealMan" Timm , 2 x 8s are unheard of here in normal construction.  Most use 2 x 6s arund here.

It's cold up here Larry Johnston so a 2 X 8 is great to hold in the extra insulation.

I agree and it should also have good feet for a strong foundation

Right on William Feela I'm not sure how to describe the foundation so I need to check with the builder but I know for sure the perimeter is cement 4 ft deep and the building is on a slab.

Hey Bob - nice play one bones.  That would interest me.  I have pictures of my home in all of its stages.

Thanks Grant Schneider I don't know why every builder doesn't take pics during construction, I think it would be a good selling tool, even for resale.
