re: Residential Construction Loan Recs - Lafayette
Posted by cajuntiger26 on 3/15/24 at 5:50 am
FYI for anyone interested, Hancock Whitney apparently gutted their construction program so that was a no go. Can only be a fixed cost build, low loan limits and other new restrictions. They actually suggested Home Bank...

Posted by cajuntiger26 on 10/21/23 at 9:26 am
Randomly saw a 30x50 existing pole barn for sale on FB. Been looking at getting one so curious if this would be worth considering as it’s in pretty good shape. Probably $50k to get a new one with pad.
If I buy the existing one…

That’s interesting.
The area I was thinking about doing this is about 100 yards from my back patio. So maybe this is not what I want t...

re: New Construction Loan
Posted by cajuntiger26 on 1/15/22 at 7:23 am
Pretty sure we talked to the same lender at Hancock/Whitney.
I was leaning towards the Jumbo loan myself but am trying to research it more. They way I understood it was:
2.625% interest for 10 years, amortized over 30.
At 10 years it could balloon up to 2.75% higher so would likely need to re...

It’s great to get all of these ideas!!! Will definitely try to incorporate some of the following.
Redbuds, flowering dogwoods, maples - would like to have some fall color. Plus Cypress, Magnolia, Ash, Holly, Pecan.
I’m gonna have to scale down at some point but would love to plant as many as...
Trees to Plant on Large Property
Posted by cajuntiger26 on 7/12/21 at 1:00 pm
I have about 2.5 acres that I will be building on next year and I’m prepping to plant some trees this fall.
The back acre of the property already has some pretty dense pine trees and I plan to keep that area with a lot of trees.
All in all I plan to plant another 10 or so trees on the property...

Year Round School - La Legislative proposal
Posted by cajuntiger26 on 5/10/21 at 4:56 am
Curious to everyone’s thoughts on this?
Basically 2 months of school then 2 week break year round vs long summer. Same # of school days.
As a parent I actually think this would be great, could vacation outside of summer. I do think a bunch of 2 week breaks makes more sense than an entire summ...
Should I use a sawmill service? 2 Large Pine Trees
Posted by cajuntiger26 on 10/11/20 at 8:59 pm
Like a lot of people, I lost 2 large pine trees yesterday. They are probably 70+ years old and straight as can be. Is is worthwhile to get a sawmill to come cut lumber out of this?
I am building a house in the next 6-12 months, so primarily I was curious if it was practical at all to use some of...

How to get rid of chiggers?
Posted by cajuntiger26 on 5/26/20 at 12:36 am
Trying to figure out how to deal with the chiggers on about an acre of land that is pretty dense in pine trees. Trying to clean up the area a little bit but there is a good 6” layer of pine straw on top of the ground.
The only thing I have read is maybe using Talstar or another bifenthrin produc...
What could we have accomplished for 3 Trillion
Posted by cajuntiger26 on 5/5/20 at 10:57 pm
Since we are now 3+ trillion in debt just from Covid, I wonder major milestones we could accomplish with that amount of money.
We could probably invest to get all Americans in driverless cars in a few years, savings 40k lives a year in auto deaths, eliminating DWI’s, reducing car insurance.
