Awesome New Home Floor Plans

I am wondering how much it would cost to build this house. Like construction cost for the house. And then an estimate to furnish the home like shown? Any information any one can provide would be awesome!

(if you scroll down on the link you can see the floor plans and some inside pictures)

This is a high end home that requires experienced craftsmen to build, especially with all of those angles and the interior woodwork, columns, tile, floors and all those details. You would be safe to say that this higher end home would cost in upwards of $250.00 to $350.00 per square foot to build, empty and move in ready. So, you are talking well over two to possibly three million dollars!!!

To furnish the place would be quite expensive, as well. Just one of those room size oriental rugs cost thousands of dollars. A home of this stature would need Interior Decorating assistance and be loaded with many custom features, like made to order upholstered furniture, bedding, over sized lighting fixtures and sconces, large scaled furniture, brass and silver accessories and perhaps even some valuable antiques. It could very well cost between five hundred thousand and seven hundred and fifty thousand to furnish this grand space.

Ahhh, wouldn't it be nice......to be independently wealthy?

This is a walkthrough I made in SHA....not 100% accurate but nothing is Sierra ever is....close enough :P ---- The Entry has a pendant light and a ...

Okay, is it me?! And when did this all of a sudden be the newest STUPID thing to do?! This guy has been chasing me since July and I never gave him the time of day. He was cool, I just wasn't bothered. Finally we got to hang out with a bunch of friends and had SOOOO much fun together. Few days later he sprung the question of going to a Hockey game. I totally excepted and it was COMEDY! Not only was I hanging out and having a Blast with him, but also his DAD and one of his friends from work. And it was without a single drink! The boy was/is awesome. We started talking every day and he always wanted to know what I was up to, and I invited him out whenever I was doing somthing and always had so much fun with him, but I never kissed him even though I absolutly wanted to and I know he wanted to. THE REASON?? He's perfect. He's got all his sh*t together (job/car/savings), such a good family, manners, education, great attitude :)) He's great, and I'd want to TOTALLY date him. But I have SOOO many skeletons I need to fix (which makes him even BETTER bc I want to be better) before hand, and am.

WELL! Last week I had a busy week and he actually broke down and asked if I was ever FREE to go out with HIM. (so cute) And we agreed we;d go out Friday and he would call me when he got off work (usually 4-6:30). I was excited! A date! With an awesome fun guy! Too good to be true. Well it was!
5:25pm rolls around Friday and still hadn't heard from him (we usually text throughout the day). So I text him "You alive? You know what day it is?!?!? FRIDAY! Time for the weekend!"
He texts me back "ya, I'm still at work, I hate my bosses."
"uuuuuummmmm don't your boss' know its FRIDAY?! Aren't they suppose to be out of the office at like 2 so they can be at the golf course by 3? LOL"
Okay, well we text teasing each other, I start getting ready, but didn't want to bug him too much about WHEN he was getting off until I realized it was 9:30 and there's only so many times I can touch up my eyeliner or change my outfit. I told him it was late. Maybe we should re-schedule. (TOTALLY BUMMED bc I didn't have other plans and was totally dressed To Impress! ;) He got stressed and huffy puffy like he was trying everything he could. I waited. We were still texting. 10:30 rolls around and I finally say Hey, you still have to go home. Lets do this another day. He says "fine!" :-/ Damn. So I go meet up with my brother who's at a bar with his friends and vent when he texts "Where are you?" Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! "Okay I'll meet you there." Annnnnnnd I'm still waiting. Brother hooking up with random and his friends all want to go to another bar. It is now 12:00am. I snap. He calls. He says he's about 30 minutes away and "just got off work." WTF?! (THIS IS LIKE THE COMMON STUPIDITY LIE I GET FROM GUYS. I don't get it. And I don't get what they get from it.) I actually even gave him the bennefit of the doubt! "Really?! WTF?! Midnight on a Friday?! Are you serious?!?!" Then he "uuuhhhh yeah." Aaaaaaaaaaha! Gotcha! And got it out of him. Happy hour with co-workers. "Got caught up in the time. I still want to see you. I'm flooring it."
(sigh... I was over fighting at the point, but WHATEVER) I told him not to bother and he was lame, when he persisted, I told him I was at the bar I was leaving and went down the street.
1:30am he's BLOWING me up. Where are you!??!?!?!?!? I'm soooooooooooorry! yadda yadda. I was walking to my car at this point and when I went to lock my phone it accidently answered. He convinced me to meet him. I went to where I could see him and made him walk to me puppy face already in tact. Along with being completely wasted. Kinda funny, but WTF?! He couldn't even give me an answer to WHY?! "I dunnno Jess, I'm sooooorrry."
All I wanted was an answer. Why couldn't he just tell me he was going with his co-workers? Was he with his co-workers? If he was with another chick she would have clearly been annoyed by all the text we were doing. Why couldn't he just meet up with me after and let me know instead of wait?! "I dunnnnno."
I hate that answer. Its such a STUPID cop-out. How do YOU not know why YOU did what YOU did?! YOU did it. Right?! Quit being shy or scared or whatever to tell me.
I got nothing. He kissed me. (awwwwwwww)
Then said he wanted to snuggle with me (kinda falling over) WTF?! Roll my eyes and leave. He tries to stop me, but I blow him off, kinda bad, but made my point to leave me alone.
Next day (sat) he texts me asking if he could take me to dinner before I never talk to him again.
Told him not to sweat it. Then don't hear from him. :(
Next day (sun) I text him asking if he liked Sushi? he says he loves Sushi and I said I can be bought with Sushi lol. Then he reminded me later about how his mom still wanted to go to my church and if it was cool. I remain distant but say no worries. We don't sit by each other, but after wards he came up to me and he was just AWKWARD and we had small talk and right before he walk

I think you are doing the right thing by holding out on him.

Since he is Mr. Got-everything-together, he is probably used to getting everything he wants...from women, too.

Maintain your dignity with this guy. Don't agree to meet him anywhere after he is hours late. Then he had one lame excuse after the next?! Nope. Let him know that your time is valuable, too. If he is that late again, make other plans and stick to them.

If he really likes you, then he will respect your time and feelings. The two of you can continue to have a great time when you hang out!

Ok, so i have to make a house floor plan for science

My partner and I only have a windmill outside and we cannot use any outside energy sources (i.e. batteries) and we can only have 4,800 watts running in the house at one time.

So I was trying to think of cool, unusual, unique room ideas that hold little to no appliances and are awesome!

We already have a pool inside and a home theater... but that's not enough lol

Oh yea, and the class is going to vote on who's house is the coolest/best and the winners will win some decent stuff

So if you can give me some tips i would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!!!

Priscilla, Diana, Jackie, Aileen, and Salina, together we are the fantastic five, saving the world from evil by having a strong friendship. Haha JK about saving the world, but we are the fantastic five and we do have a strong friendship. Our “clique”, “groupie”, “club”, “circle”, or whatever you want to identify us, includes: Priscilla, Jackie, Salina, Aileen, and Diana. Each of us has different looks, backgrounds, personalities, qualities, talents, and lots of other stuff that makes us what we are, well, best friends. Diana the artist, Aileen the overachiever, Priscilla the social and personality, Jackie the athlete, and Salina the singer, we are all different in many ways but that is why we get along so well. This summer, the summer after middle school and before high school, will be the most challenging, exciting, scary, adventurous, surprising, and overall, awesome summer ever. The five of our lives are essentially never going to be the same after this summer of twist, turns, and through streets that just may seem like dead ends.
The 8th grade year has come to an end. Many wonderful times and many more dreadful times, but we got through it, together. When I mean “we”, I mean my little clique of friends: Aileen, Jackie, Salina, Diana, and me. After all the complicated work, all the struggles to get through 8th grade and move on in life, everything is finally over. Everything in this story is “we” because we are always together, through the good times and the bad, and we are always part of each other, none complete without another. “All students please report to the commons immediately for the 8th grade ceremony.” Mrs. Merritt announced on the loudspeaker. Jackie, Aileen, Priscilla, Salina, and Diana were sitting in the front row of seats in our 4th period Language Arts class, in that exact order and stood up to go to the commons. “Oh my god!” Jackie screamed at the top of her lungs. “Do you know what this means?” “Oh my god! We are gonna get our little certificate thingies for like, best dressed and stuff!” Priscilla yelled also screaming at the top of her lungs. Then, Jackie, Diana, and Priscilla began waving their hands in the air and screaming like the little girly girls they are. Salina kept staring at us, obliviously not believing how weird we are. Aileen on the other hand was also waving her hands and screaming but not for the same purpose, she was mocking them. “Hey! We are just excited so back off!” Diana shot to Aileen after giving her a sharp glare. Then at that point in time, we all began cracking up and giggling because we were SO not going to start a fight right before Middle School Graduation! “Come on students; let’s get our butts down to the commons now!” Mrs. Walker, our 4th period Language Arts Honors teacher, yelled loudly in her military tone. “Affirmative, Sir yes sir!” A voiced spoke out. The voice was obliviously Jimmy’s, Jimmy Schmidt, I mean; he has always been one to crack jokes. The class began to break into hysterics, even Mrs. Walker. “Okay okay, that’s enough jokes for one year; now seriously, let’s get down there!”
The assembly was extremely tedious and strenuous, but finally it was time for the 8th grade awards. “For MVP for ###################### track, I am honored to award “Iliane Isakahrvo” with the ###################### certificate.” Mr. Chicka announced. Mr. Chicka, the vice principal, is always the one participating in announcements, awards, school events, and pretty much everything. Gauche silence. “It’s Aileen, Aileen Isakharov you retard!” Aileen, Priscilla, Salina, Jackie, and Diana shrieked and right after that, they dropped down under the chairs so they wouldn’t get caught, a perfect way to end the school year. “Ahummm… I’m sorry, Aileen, let me say that again.” “For MVP for ######################, I am honored to award Aileen Isakharov with the ###################### certificate.” Well, like the old saying goes, the second try is always the best! Umm…….. not really but whatever, lets just pretend that is the saying, okay? A loud applause followed by screams, mostly from Priscilla, Salina, Jackie, and Diana, Aileen walks up to the microphone “Go Chickens. Peace out.” Then, again, more applause. “Next, for most talented, Salina Abraham!” Thank God he pronounced her name correctly. “Thank you so much everybody, I would like to thank my parents and friends ---“ “Excuse me, Ms. Abraham, a speech is not necessary.” Salina ignores Mr. Chicka and continues to talk, until, well, the school security comes. She says one last “thank you” and is forced off the stage, talk about guts! “Okay…..Next, I would like to present Jackie Manson for the most dazzling smile. Congratulations!” Jackie scampers up to the stage, grabs the certificate, and squeals an “Oh my god!” so high pitched, I swear, the windows should have broken, but instead the microphone made these screeching sounds, talk about magical powers! “For most creative student, Diana Chen come on up and receive your award!” She walks up there, takes the certificate, and then just simply walks back to her seat. “Last but not least, I would like to award ############ for most charming personality!” The crowd screams, whistles, and claps as Priscilla struts down the main walkway to the stage to claim her award. She walks up to Mr. Chicka, takes the certificate, and then walks to the microphone and says, “Thanks everybody! I am so honored, I love you all!” Then the crowd goes wild again, what a crowd pleaser! After the assembly, everyone was talking about “the fantastic five” and how we each got an award for something. I guess we are just simply amazing, like that’s a surprise. The awards ceremony took up so much time, by the time everyone was out of the commons, the bell rung at precisely 2:30 PM, indicating that school had ended and summer had begun. Oh yeah!

Preppy4LIFE: OMG, I cannot believe school is over!
PinkyInRussian: I <3 Chickens.
DeeDi4Diana: Okay… that was random.
Jaxgrrrrl: Yeah totally. I know!
Lina123: So what are your guys’ plans for the summer?
Dee4Diana: Maybe checking hot guys out?
Preppy4LIFE: yeah on the internet. LOL. ;]
Jaxgrrrrl: HAHA LOL.
Lina123: LOL. :]
PinkyInRussian: Oh my chicken, is that all you guys say on AIM? LOL?
Lina123: At least we don’t say chicken between every other word.
PinkyInRussian: HEY! I was kidding!
Dee4Diana: Suuuuuurrrrreeee…. Whatever Aileen
Jaxgrrrrl: I totally agree with Priscilla. LOL.
PinkyInRussian: What’s with the whole “LOL” thing? You guys are :O
Dee4Diana: OH no you didn’t!
PinkyInRussian: OH yes I did.
Preppy4LIFE: Ooooohhh watcha gonna do about that diss?
Dee4Diana: Oh is on Aileen, bring it on.
PinkyInRussian: It’s been brought.
Jaxgrrrrl: We should totally do something together during summer!
Preppy4LIFE: OMG, totally. We should go to….
Dee4Diana: Tokyo!
Lina123: New York!
PinkyInRussian: CHICKEN!
Preppy4LIFE: uhh…. Okay… a bit random…… OMG this is gonna be fun!
Jaxgrrrrl: How ‘bout Mexico? I mean it at least would be hot!
Preppy4LIFE: OMFG! Awesome. I vote Jackie.
Dee4Diana: Me too.
Lina123: Me three.
PinkyInRussian: Me four.
Preppy4LIFE, PinkyInRussian, Lina123, Dee4Diana, Jaxgrrrrl: Perfect!


From that moment on, all of our phones have been ringing off the hook due to all of us calling each other at every and any waking moment possible, to talk about the trip. It was planned. We would be flying from the SeaTac Airport to the El Rosa Airport at 4 AM on July 13, 2008 and come back exactly 6 weeks later. This would be our first big trip together and it would make our lives change forever, even more than we would have thought! We would be on flight number 1376 on Mexico International Airlines. There were five tickets, one for each of us, and we would be staying at Priscilla’s grandma’s friend’s home who just happens to live next door to This trip, though we may not know it, is going to change our lives and have many twists and turns that will carry all of us on a journey, together.
“Flight 1376 is ready to board, I repeat, Flight 1376 is ready to board, if this is your flight, please report to terminal C9 to board the plane. Thank you.” That was our cue to get out of Starbucks and get going towards our terminal before we miss our plane, which wouldn’t be good, not good at all. Priscilla ordered a light caramel frappicino with triple shots and whipped cream, Salina ordered a mocha cappuccino, Jackie, a pumpkin spice frappicino, Diana a black coffee, and Aileen, a hot chocolate. After all our orders were completed, it was 3:40 AM! SHIT! That means that we have five minutes to run across the airport with drinks in one hand, luggage in the other, and whatever else Salina, Jackie, Priscilla, Diana, and/or Aileen might be carrying along. We pass California Pizza Kitchen, getting a little closer to our destination but with only four minutes left. We convert from a jog to a full out sprint and all of our drinks begin to spill along the edges of the cups and our luggage is practically being dragged, but none of this matters if we FREAKING GET ON THE PLANE IN TIME!!!! We get so desperate we just drop our drinks on the floor, pick up our bags, and run like there is no tomorrow, and there won’t be if we don’t get that plane! By the time we were in the C terminal, there was only one minute left! OMG! Running through the crowds of people and weaving through obstacles, we finally found terminal C9 and ran to the guy at the check-in counter and gave him our tickets. Then we tiredly dragged ourselves into the small tunnel that connected to the plane, picked our seats, conveniently all in one row, and dropped ourselves into the comfort of the supple leather seats and prepared for a journey of a lifetime.
We each entertained ourselves with diverse activities throughout the long plane ride. Diana doodled on every possible little space in her notebook, both Jackie and Salina were listening and singing along to their IPODs, Priscilla was taking millions of pictures of herself with her new hot pink Polaroid digital camera, and Aileen was playing with her brand new Nintendo DS. Finally, three hours later, three ELONGATED hours later, we landed at the LAX Airport in Los Angeles, CA. Next, we were supposed to go on Flight 9286 to Mexico City, Mexico at 9:50 AM at terminal B3, according to Priscilla, and meet Priscilla’s grandma’s friend named Claire. For now on, let’s just call her Claire and not have to elucidate the whole Priscilla’s grandma’s friend thingy all the time. Anyways, it was about 7:15 AM and Salina’s and Priscilla’s stomachs were growling, what’s new? We all decided to go to Burger King for breakfast - I know, how healthy – and everybody ordered some kind of salad because this summer, we were all trying to lose a few pounds at the least. We had about 2 hours and 35 minutes to kill so we were strolling through the airport, shopping, getting drink and snacks, looking at books in BORDERS, and just pretty much browsing around. All five of us, I guess, were preoccupied with something because none of us had noticed the announcement for Flight 9286 at 8:50 AM! We found that out when we went to terminal B3 at 9:50 AM on the dot to board the plane and were told that the plane left an hour ago. Aileen had the initiative to ask the employee if we could catch another plane but unfortunately, flights to Mexico are infrequent so there wouldn’t be another one for about 4 weeks! What are we going to do in Los Angeles, CA for four weeks?! We can’t just decide to fly back to Washington because that would mean we came out here to California for nothing! We left Washington State looking for adventure and the best summer ever, and little did we know that what we were looking for was right around the corner.
“Hey ummmm…. Mom?” Jackie said hesitantly. “Hi honey, aren’t you supposed to be on your flight right now?” Jackie’s mom answered back questionably. “Uhhhhh…. Yeah that’s the problem….. we kind of missed our flight…..” Silence. “WHHHAATTTT!!!!???” “Ummmm…. Well the worst part is that their wont be another flight to Mexico in four weeks.” Jackie says quietly. “Oh my god, young lady, you are going to be in so much trouble when you come back!” Jackie’s mom yells and then in a calmer voice, “Let me call your aunt who luckily lives in that area and have her pick you five up. Meanwhile, just stay there.” Psshhh…. Like we have any other place to go.
The LAX Airport was a pretty exciting place to be considering the fact that some celebrity that we couldn’t see due to the crowds of paparazzi and the many security guards surround and what seemed to be, a tall blonde celebrity. We probably each thinking, Wow, I wish I was famous so I could be: in all these magazines and photos, filthy rich, have everyone worship me, known to all people, and able to do whatever I want. The paparazzi always following you everywhere, unlimited money, hang out with all the famous people in the magazines who you longed to be, and have special treatment anywhere you go, being famous would make life seem a lot easier. All of a sudden, the blonde celebrity began walking towards the ladies room and darted through the door. After her entrance, the five out of twelve bodyguards she had stood in a row covering the entrance to the restroom. “Oh my god, we have to get in there!” Priscilla whispered as she began to huddle the five of us into a tight circle. “So let’s decide the game plan now. Diana, get all your red inks and paints and color Salina’s “lower area” red, then Salina, go up to the security guards and ask for a tampon and say its an emergency. Then Diana, go up to the some of the other guys and start gibbering to them and just start talking REALLY fast. Jackie, you need to stand up on the tables and chairs and have like…..a singing performance or something. I dunno, you’ll think of something. All three of you need to distract the paparazzi, bodyguards, and people in the airport so Aileen and I can break in through the janitor’s entrance without being seen. We’ll be as quick as possible, I promise. Does each of you know your position?” Salina, Jackie, Aileen, and Diana all seemed confused by what Priscilla just explained and kind of just stood their shocked for a few moments and a minute later, they shot their hands in the middle of the huddle and yelled “BREAK!” The diabolical plan has begun.

pretty good plot but VERY CONFUSING TO READ! i had no idea who was telling the story. you keep switching back and forth between first person and omniscent. pick one! either use the all knowing narrorator or pick a character to tell the strory. first you start out with omniscent then it switches to priscilla then back to omniscent and it keeps going back and forth and for all i know other people were narrorating it throughout the story as well. figure out who's telling the story and then edit it and i'd be happy to tell you my thoughts again. i hope i wasn't too harsh but it is a big problem. it is a pretty good story, it's just hard to understand.
