The use of the term "world famous" in this case is probably used ironically by the owners of the bar themselves.
I read that last line twice as the word ironically stuck in my head... It's then I realized iron as in iron horse and iron as in gold are pronounced so differently...

Looks like you and I might have a race on our hands. Our builder was just selected. We’ll be breaking ground in the next month or so... :D

Just because its 3 months away doesn't mean that's how long it takes to build.

Well, not in Doombrains case anyway. It might take that long if you use fake brick and shit wood for everything. But for a premium house, it's a count down.

And I am saying that Doombrains house hasn't taken 3 months to build; it's taken longer. There is just 3 months to go, from now. It was already being built.

Seriously, is it just me on this?

Apparently so. Typically, in my experience, contracts are signed before a build starts. When Doombrain said contracts had been signed, I assumed work had not begun. I assume Geoff thought the same...

There are builders that build tract or spec homes in very short periods of times. 3 months is rather quick, but not impossible. Those homes are built by the same set of plans, over and over with little to no deviations. Therefore they're not considered "custom". Custom homes are individually designed, planed and constructed to the owners specification. Depending on size, those homes can take years to build.

Hope that helps the construction-ally handicapped.

Yea, I thought about that as I typed the words. A few base metals went through my head in those moments, tin for one but probably the word steel suits here :smirk: Although it's not an element, it seems the best fit...
That reminds me, there have been a few questions on those late afternnon TV quiz shows about the elements on the periodic table. In high school days I could do well answering any question regards the elements but these days I get a little rusty (pun intended) :D :olo:
