Regarding insurance, don't expect an extension. Cancellation likely at 60 day mark without verification of punch list completion to their satisfaction. Regarding rails and pickets, "permanent" does not usually refer to whether or not it will ever be changed. It's simply used to describe a securely fastened assembly which is done to local building codes. Usually showing concrete, nail or screw fasteners, hurricane or seismic anchors if required, and meeting dimension guidelines. Handrail height is usually between 36-42" from the leading edge of steps and from any deck surface over 18" off the ground. Spacing between pickets may allow no more than a 4" air gap to protect from a child's head passing through, therefore minimizing the chance of a fall. As long as it doesn't fall over at inspection, you'll probably be just fine. Thanks for sharing your life and stories with us all. It's been a pleasure to watch you grow.

I ran into the same problem getting a home appraisal and having 3 steps that were slightly too high and needed a hand rail. I built a 'permanent' rail made of 2x4's, sent them pictures, then it was approved. 'Permanent' means very little except screwed down. Just get it done simple and easy enough to pass the inspectors, then tear it off the next day. These are desk jockey paper pushers, they just want to push the policy and start collecting your money. IMO you could just do without insurance all together, its a scam but thats another discussion for another day.

If you pay premiums for 50 years and never receive a dime, then count your blessings. We've had two claims, each paid properly. Having no claim is much better than a paid claim.

My in-laws had a mudroom/porch where you could drop the field clothes in a washer (not the main washer) and hop in a separate shower. Kept the mud & grease out of the house and main laundry. Before insulation, I suggest steel wool/stainless kitchen scrubbers around every floor penetration to discourage varmints gnawing their way in. I would build permanent temporary stairs at each door just for piece of mind if exiting in a early morning fire or something. If you plan it out, you could reuse parts of the 3 stairs on the eventual deck.

Check for another insurance carrier. There are hundreds out there that would insure you. Most will not inspect and you may get a better rate. Go through an agency.

Hello I'm assuming your insurance company is requiring photos as proof of these "issues" being addressed? I have worked in the insurance industry for 16 years. Just a heads-up you may do a "preliminary" fixture take photos reflecting those issues have been "remedied" and just keep fixing issues throughout the year. Of course this is assuming your insurance company doesn't do a second inspection again to ensure issues are 100% fixed. Most insurance companies don't. As a matter of fact we do inspections every other year. Let me know if you guys have any questions/concerns. God bless!

I work in the world of insurance. A couple of things. If they canceled, you would be entitled to a refund of the unused premium. But the comments to get another carrier aren't valid because all insured properties are subject to inspection. That's a good thing since if you have a loss you don't want them denying the claim because you did something they weren't aware of. Josh is correct. Make it permanent. Reply to the recommendation letter with pictures. Then upgrade to what you want, and if it's a big change, even send a new picture, so you know you're covered. But rails and freeze protection are valid points, since water damage and personal injury are the most common losses for property insurance. Love the build!

We built a new home a few years ago and the builder just attached a piece of deck railing across the outside trim of the door to pass the final inspection. So even if you opened the door you couldn't fall out. Our county uses the International Building Code and it seemed to satisfy the inspector.

All the houses in my neighborhood were built with these small balconies with a set of step going down to the ground. This satisfied the code as they were a “ permanent” set of steps. We immediately ripped ours off and built a large deck.

The logo on your hats would make a good logo for shirts. I like a small logo on my shirts. While I'm at it, I also like the "Be Wild" on the women's shirt. I want one for men.

That was an appropriate song choice for the way we all feel, but especially you guys at this time. Praying for your family.

New construction you could put a hand rail across the door opening for the deck with balusters space no greater than four inches apart. This prevents anyone from accessing or using the door for an entrance or exit. Take you 30 minutes and easy to remove when you are ready to do the deck. Insurance should have no issues with that, they allow cookie cutter builders “planned communities “ to do it all the time.

It seems like she's letting the word permanent be a sticking point when it's really not. Josh is right you can build the smallest legal porch and make it permanent and then upgrade sometime in the future. As long as it is built to code it will be considered permanent. That shouldn't be a sticking point.

The same thing happened to me in regards to having to have "permanent" landings and stairs. All that means is not a "construction" steps and railings. Build a landing, steps, and rails to code and you are fine. A few months later I took the landing off the back of the house and built the deck that is still there today. No problem. Here in NC I had to have a landing that was a minimum of 4' square.

I work in selling insurance and a lot of underwriters don’t have much in field experience. Sometimes they ask too much and not realize other mitigation factors. I’m surprised that they pushed hard for the radiant heat issue. You already have heat inside the house. The pipes won’t freeze which is probably their concern. That being said talk to your agent about your game plan to address the insurance carriers concerns. If you’re showing a good faith effort to address the problem and need more time then the insurance carrier will work with you. Obviously they can witness your progression of the work. It’s not like you guys are sitting around doing this every other weekend for 3 hours at a time. As to them keeping your $1,000 premium in full. If it’s a standard (admitted) insurance carrier in your state then they can’t legally do that. In the case if they wrote your homeowners policy for 90 days, then cancelled it, they would pro-rate the premium and send you the balance back.

Around the house, I would say you could put natural stone ( normally found near waterfalls) that will go perfectly with the house and blend in with the landscape. I would not just put dirt around. Greetings from Portugal! Following since day one 💪

Im sure you already know this but just In case you don’t; if y’all actually get canceled it will be very difficult to get new insurance through a different company. If you think you might then try get different policy w a different co first.

I believe I would be checking into a different insurance co. Even if you get approved by this one , you don’t need attitudes!

The catch, this insurance is construction insurance, it has a limit for coverage just like a construction loan it also has a limit of time. Full homeowners insurance would need a certificate of occupancy. They also inspect for habitation and would also make the same requirements. These folks are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

In the Marine Corps we had 7 Ps. Proper prior planning precludes piss poor performance. Worked for us.

Al McGuire, late coach of Marquette University basketball called it the 7 P’s: Prior Proper Planning Prevents P - - - Poor Performance. I absolutely admire your family dynamics. Our country needs more good people like you. God bless.

I just want to say you both are a great team, please don't lose the love and team work.

Love your dedication because that under floor heating is no small job

Cancel the policy get a refund and look for a new insurance company , that's a bit more understanding.

That is all insurance companies policies. We switched last year in the middle of building a pool house didn't think anything of it, they got our check, did their inspection, gave us 60 days to get the siding up. It is wrapped and sealed, and we weren't planning on siding until next year so we could work on tying it in to the deck and a million other projects. It is sided now and those other projects got moved to next year. We saved $200 per year, but we should have waited.

Looking good Can't believe how hard you two work good luck and best wishes all.

That house is going to be nice and cozy during the winter ❄️. Looking god!!!👏🏻🤗😘🌼
