Construction Project Part VI

Note that I'm just gonna post a few pictures every now and then. The pics may spans several days. I think they all have timestamps in the bottom left corner.

Don't forget to help a fellow programmer out! Doubling a few hundred will feel good.

Please skip below to see pics.

Construction Project (Day 7 & 8)

Project V beta test and promotion available for investments of $100 or more. Help make Project V possible. See below. And I know that for you programmers, any amount up to $2K is nothing. Help a fellow programmer out! Doubling a few hundred will feel good.

Please skip below to see pics.

Objective

I am involved in a construction project of building a mobile home to help start my brother's construction business and to get some funding for Project V. We are looking to get another 2K in order to replace some funding we can get in about 30 days, but we'd like to obtain 4K total to have a good buffer. Since I have about 20 days of pictures so far (we're on the roof right now), I am posting them one weekday at a time until those 30 days are up in the hopes that it will generate some interest.

Any amount is accepted as we don't need it all from one source. Even $100 would help. Note that we are 100% sure of finishing it even without any extra funding. We can get it ourselves if need be. It's just faster and easier if we got some help because our time is currently taken up actually building it. And these do not follow the trends of the housing market. The mobile home market in this area is still as strong as ever. If anything, it makes these a more viable option.

ROI offered is 100%. Double your money. Investors get paid first upon sale.

16' x 60' mobile home with two bedrooms.

Expected time of completion: Around end of July or beginning of August.
Initial asking price: $79,000 CDN negotiable.
Required to pay investors back: $20,000 CDN.
Required for 100% ROI: $40,000 CDN.

Anything above 20K selling price and you will make a profit.

Contact me if you are interested or if you want more information.

NOTE for Project V: I will also put anyone who invests $100 or more on the beta testing list as prototypes and testing becomes available as well as a free copy of Project V or an associated product of your choosing when they become available (tutorials or books). $500 or more and you can receive a free low level developer's kit and tutorials used for developing your own machine specific components and runtime engine and all other underlying technology. For $1000, I will offer to help set you up on a cluster or network for your massively concurrent application (ask for details). I'm also open to other deals if you need a custom solution. (For others, there will still be a free and Open Source version for normal development.)

Primary Objective Remaining: $1,800 CDN

Max Target Remaining: $3,800 CDN

Day 7 (May 28, 2007)

This was the toughest day yet, but we didn't actually work on the building. We removed all organic materials 6 inches from the perimeter as well as from everywhere inside that area of the mobile home. Basically, lots of digging and disposing of grass. So here's a before and after picture.

Before



After



Day 8 (May 29, 2007)

Fixed the plate that had split at the front on the beam to the right. Also sealed all the ends on the blockings. And now we wait for the inspector to come over. It passed inspection. Now, on to the floor.



Next time, I can really show the floor joists. Looks like I got ahead of myself last time.

Day 5 (May 24, 2007)

Removed the forms.



Keepin' it clean. Taking stuff apart is WAY much more work.



Someone's sleeping on the job.



Moving the blocks over to the site.





Starting our first beam. The floor joists will go across on top of this.





First beam is done.



And it's level without any adjustments.



Day 6 (May 25, 2007)

On this Friday, it was a very humid 32C (90F) and it felt like I was melting. So we just finished the second beam and stopped there.




Next time (on Monday, June 25), I'll post how the floor joists were installed.

Day 4 (May 23, 2007)

As I'm not exactly good with a hammer at this point, you can see that my aim is a little off. And yes, I know I should have used a different kind of hammer for this.



These are not your standard issue nails. These are 6 inch galvanized nails forged with magical properties that will make anyone curse who tries to use them.



My first one done. 20 min each.



Needed 14 of them.




Next time, we start on the beams for the floor.

Day 3 (May 22, 2007)

After waiting for ten whole days because of the rain right after we started construction, we can finally get back at it.

Here, we laid out the forms and levelled them.




Next, we get the cement truck to come over.



20 minutes later and we're done.



As you can see, they are all level.




Now we wait for it to dry. Next time, see how we make the blockings that support the home.

Construction Project (Day 1&2)

As you may or may not have heard, I have a construction project on the go. I'm building a mobile home. This is to start my brother's construction business and also to get myself some funding for Project V. Since we are building it ourselves, there are no labour costs, only materials (except for electrician and plumber). This means that we have a huge margin for profit as these things sell anywhere from 60K to 90K (average 70K). Ours is the widest you can buy 16', and 60' long with two bedroom (longest are 74'). Should not be a problem selling this above 60K. So we'll put initial asking price at 79K neg. but that's not set in stone just yet. We have lots of flexibility.

The point of this is that we need another 2K. We can get it easy enough by doing a couple jobs or one of my other brothers can cover it (he's busy with his own projects), but just in case anyone wants in, I'm going to present one weekday at a time just for fun. I have about 20 days of pictures so far. We've started the roof today, but I'll start at the very beginning on here. Maybe someone will find them entertaining and help us out. Oh, it's all Canadian currency.

Since we have lots of room to play with, we will double any investment. Investments get paid first. We only take the rest after all investors have been paid. One time deal, so you won't find this offer again and this is why it's 100% ROI.

After sale, money is distributed as such:
1. Investors get money back.
2. Investors get ROI.
3. Builders get paid.

We accept anything up to 4K although we're only really looking for 2 or 3K. We expect to be done in about another month or so. So if you want to see the rest of the pics right now, please consider making an investment. Heck, a couple hundred would help pay for extra screws and nails and some tyvek. So pretty much any amount is good. Contact me if you want more concrete information. We have a budget listed and all items are updated online as we buy them on another site for investors only.

NOTE for Project V: I will also put anyone who invests $100 or more on the beta testing list as prototypes and testing becomes available as well as a free copy of Project V or an associated product of your choosing when they become available (tutorials or books). $500 or more and you can receive a free low level developer's kit and tutorials used for developing your own machine specific components and runtime engine and all other underlying technology.

Day 1 & 2 (May 10 & 11, 2007)

We found a lot to build it on. Got the approval from the owner. Got the building permit. And finally had some lumber delivered. BTW, the date is wrong on the pics. It is fixed in later pictures.




Instead of wood platforms, we're gonna use cement slabs. Cheaper and easier to level. These are some of the forms.



On May 11th, we finished the rest and stopped there because it was Friday. It rained for an entire week, so day 3 got pushed back all the way to May 22nd, 2007 that we'll look at next time.
