OT: Custom Home Builders

IETiger81
I know this has been discussed frequently but I didn't get my question answered when I used the search function. Ha Ha

Wife and I bought some land in 2020 right before the explosion in real estate (lucky timing). Our property is in the Fork Shoals, Fountain Inn, Pelzer area part of Greenville county. We are now wanting to build. I am now in the hunt for a custom home builder. The first one that I've spoken with wants to charge between $300 - $500 per sqft. This seems really high. So, now I am coming here to leverage the TI network to get some real expert opinions. Is anyone here a custom home builder? If not, any referrals would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!

Text from D1 coach in the SE about EB

dustinw
I was curious how he recruits I asked what his thoughts on EB were and if we would recruit well instate or go national. His response

I know him a bit. He is super intense. He will try to recruit the state but I don't think will have a ton of success bc he is a transplant. He is a really good coach and recruiter and has won everywhere. I think he will eventually get some SC guys but it's gonna be a minute. Clemson will be on the National stage within 2-3 years again. Was a great hire in my opinion.

Wahoo McDaniel

scartiger
For the wrestling fans.


The late Ed "Wahoo" McDaniel was born 85 years ago today. McDaniel was one of the more colorful characters on the first Miami Dolphins team in 1966. A full blooded Choctaw-Chickasaw Native American, McDaniel's legend began in his hometown of Midland, TX. He was always a gifted athlete. McDaniel was a catcher on a Pony League baseball team that advanced to the state tournament in San Antonio. The team's coach was George Herbert Walker Bush, who later became President. McDaniel finished second in the state in the shot put and third in the discus in high school. He turned down a football scholarship from Texas A&M, then coached by Bear Bryant to attend the University of Oklahoma coached by Bud Wilkinson. McDaniel was a 3-year letterman at OU and played on powerful Sooner teams that went 27-5 from 1957 to 1959.

McDaniel went on to play 9 seasons of professional football-- all in the American Football League, including a 3-year stint as a linebacker and punter with the Miami Dolphins from 1966 to 1968. McDaniel is still the only player in Dolphins history to have his nickname on the back of his jersey. McDaniel was also known as one of the more unique characters of the game. There wasn't a challenge or bet he would ever turn down. He once drank a quart of motor oil. In another bet, he consumed a gallon of jalapeno peppers just because someone dared him. He was married 5 times to 4 different women.

During the offseason, McDaniel was also a professional wrestler-- a career he would continue long after his football days. According to McDaniel, he wrestled in more than 10,000 matches and had 2,000 to 3,000 stitches. McDaniel's health started to deteriorate in the mid-1990s, which led to his retirement in 1996 from wrestling. He eventually lost both kidneys. He was awaiting a kidney transplant when he died of complications from diabetes and kidney failure on April 18, 2002. Wahoo McDaniel was 63 years old.

Question about Duke tickets

ccolon
I wanted to get some advice from the board- for those of you who have been frequent visitors to Duke and bought tickets, what is the best way to go about getting 4 and what do you expect the price would be? I last went to Duke for the 2004 nightmare game and we just bought a couple from a guy as we walked toward the stadium. I would imagine it's much different now. Any advice would be appreciated.
