Its a lovely area though but for me sticking with one of those two to get it in the Gryffe High school area would be a win. Ultimately it’d be a long term house for us, not looking to sell and make loads of money, but if it generated equity to make my retirement a bit more comfortable when we would downsize then that is a bonus. Does if you are going private Had a friend who moved out of Kilmacolm when the kids were getting close to starting high school 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was getting told the story that when they built all those new houses next to Brookfield that was a selling point that the kids would be getting in to Gryfe High But it did not work out that way i think Was not paying attention 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son goes to high school next year so one eye was on high schools. Feedback from someone who taught there wasn’t good either. If you’re only focus in on results then yes it looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maicoman Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 There must be someone on here that has built their own house Would like to here about the experience of doing it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 13 hours ago, maicoman said: There must be someone on here that has built their own house Would like to here about the experience of doing it Had someone on my shift a few years ago that built his own house. Never seen anyone so tired or stressed out as he was. We were on shifts and he was not getting the sleep he needed as he was doing all hours. When it came to tie into the local sewer he was almost frantic with worry. If the main pipe was broken or they broke the pipe when drilling into it he was responsible for the replacement of it. Fortunately it went well but at one stage had to give him three days off at no cost to him to alleviate his tension and anxiety. The house was lovely when it was finished but he sold it at a good profit, moved into rented accommodation for a few years and built another house. Looks magnificent but really do not know if it was worth the stress and anxiety that he went through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnebby Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) I like to play Planet Zoo. It is an exciting game for people that likes Tycoon. I like the editor of the house in the game. I am a big fan of building, and I love every game that s related to this domain. I want to become an architect when I graduate high school. I started to love him when we were building our house. We used the services of a scaffolding company, it is called Pete Suen, and I was so amazed by how they are transforming a plan on paper in real life that I decided that I want to work in this domain in the future.

Not to worry, by the time your tree's grown Western civilisation will have collapsed into competing and constantly warring statelets ruled by populist idiots, and the financial and regulatory systems will have collapsed. All you'll need is a baseball bat to stop Morningside and St Andrews types from squatting in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be sure to purchase a couple of crossbows and a healthy supply of bolts. Baseball bats are too much effort. I’m not leaving my treehouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
