My wife is really intrigued about the Ogden area and the new subdivisions

Too close to Utah Lake. And lots of flies.

The flies are thick as flies--and the mosquitoes even thicker. Houses should be painted with a coat of deet.

Utah Lake is not a lake you want to live by.

Landscaping, sprinklers, fencing,

Oh yeah, and mosquito abatement.

We've spent 23% above the base price on upgrades. And that's with not choosing

Yup, we are building in Arizona and we spent 25%

I live in vineyard and love it. Homecenter is one of the better builders in the

It's not really a bad time IMO. Prices are still projected to go up and rates

cougarnerd

3/7/17 8:12pm

You're right. I should clarify.

cougstyle

3/7/17 8:14pm

Vineyard? The old site of Geneva Steel?

WJCougar

3/7/17 8:01pm

Geneva steel didn't occupy the entire vineyard area.

cougstyle

3/7/17 8:03pm

Yeah but their heavy metals sure did. Don't kid yourself.

kansascougar

3/7/17 8:08pm

Meh. I doubt they are affecting anything much.

cougstyle

3/7/17 8:11pm

Not where they are building houses.

93 cougar

3/7/17 8:12pm

Well, not yet anyway. But yes, most of that land is still open.

cougstyle

3/7/17 8:17pm

It doesn't have to be on the exact spot. It

kansascougar

3/7/17 8:27pm

Of course. But there are assumed risks with almost everywhere one could live.

cougstyle

3/7/17 8:29pm

Agreed. But it was the site of a steel mill that heavily polluted

kansascougar

The decade long clean up of Geneva Steel has really paid off

The lake is looking better

3/7/17 8:09pm

Be ready to sign a waiver stating the soil is possibly radioactive

maxpowers

3/7/17 8:12pm

You have to do that anywhere in Utah and SL County

cougarnerd

3/7/17 8:17pm

for realz?

maxpowers

3/7/17 8:26pm

Not true. At all.

kansascougar

3/7/17 8:28pm

Yes it is. Radon gas.

cougarnerd

3/7/17 8:29pm

I've built 2 new homes in the last 11 years in SL County

kansascougar

3/7/17 8:46pm

It was probably in your contract. I'd bet on it.

cougarnerd

3/7/17 8:48pm

hmm...who makes you sign it? The home builder? The developer?

kansascougar

3/7/17 8:54pm

I've seen 3 different contracts, all home builders, and each talked about Radon

cougarnerd

3/7/17 9:00pm

It's not required by law. That's the home builder trying to protect themselves.

kansascougar

3/7/17 9:03pm

I never said it was required by law, just that you'd have to do it

cougarnerd

3/7/17 9:08pm

Not all home builders require it. Yours may have. But plenty do not

kansascougar

3/7/17 9:09pm

I never signed any such waiver.

cougstyle

3/7/17 8:30pm

Must be a new thing. All the new development areas I've looked at have it.

cougarnerd

3/7/17 8:37pm

When we moved to Ogden we had a radon test done. Is that what you are reffering

3/7/17 9:02pm

The elementary is jam packed and the charter there is suspect. Price wise you

93 cougar

You must be referring to franklin academy. My kids go to freedom academy.

cougstyle

3/7/17 8:20pm

Yeah that was the one in the news last week right?

93 cougar

3/7/17 8:34pm

Yep.

cougstyle

3/8/17 8:11pm

I'd avoid Vineyard's "Stucco Estates." In many of the neighborhoods the houses are literally only 10 feet apart.

Brisco

3/7/17 11:23pm

Have you seen any of the new development in Lehi, Saratoga, Eagle Mountain,

cougarnerd

3/7/17 11:56pm

So it is like most of the development going on right now.
