True, but Mrs. Winners? Maybe you have better cooks where you are but the one here was awful. It burned to the ground a few years ago and no lie, the fire trucks took their sweet time about getting there... by the time they arrived the place was already too far gone to be saved. If it had been Chick Fil A they’d have gotten there in three minutes.
There is a Food City about 5 minutes from my house that has really good fried chicken. Not better than Popeye's or the homemade stuff, but it's miles ahead of KFC. Just get there when its fresh, take it home and throw some cayenne pepper on it and its damn good for the price
There's a thing down here that says you haven't visited Miami unless you've had a publix chicken tender sub.
Ate them suckers every day for lunch when I had a beach bum job the summer after I finished school. Edit: I think I’d have lost 40 pounds working in the Florida sun all summer if I hadn’t lived on pub subs, Whataburger and beer.
So it's looking like I'll be moving entire family in tow back to Knoxville within the next month. We're looking at building in short order as well. Anyone recommend a good builder? We're not looking for an ostentatious home, we just don't want to get scammed and end up with foundation problems, drafty house and a leaky roof.
i know nothing of knoxville, but i know here building costs are through the roof and any good contractors are booked for months and charging like they are booked for months.
Yeah, I got 2 estimates back that were clearly pricing me out. I got another that was realistic. The price out builders were expected as the builder has a "client concierge". The blue-collar builders said they're busy but fitting us in wouldn't be too bad. I have a friend who is currently building in Northern Virginia and is paying almost $300/sqft for it.
I think I’d be looking to buy a house instead of building a house if I were you. Will get more bang for your buck too.
Eh, we own the property. It's about 2 acres in an excellent area and is waterfront. Much better for us than being crammed in on .2-.4 acres. Plus the prices are inflated right now unless you buy a brand new house from a national builder like DR Horton.
Yeah, they're not bad for a starter home. But I wouldn't want to try to sell one in 10 years if it's a buyers market.
