So, from time to time, I like to expound some terminology in my articles. Here is a question that I hear a lot:

Question: What does the term "stick built" mean?

Answer: Over the years, the term "stick built" has referred to homes built out of "sticks" or lumber ... on site, one piece at a time. The name was chosen to differentiate between movable or manufactured homes that are factory built and these site built homes.

Nowadays, it would be more exact to use the term "site built" as there are many ways to build homes "on site." There are Sip homes, Icf built homes, and varied packaged homes.

I wish there was a simple, easy write back or record for a "stick built" home but there no longer is. But, here's what I believe will be most beneficial to you ...

It's not so much about how it's made but where it's built and its classification. With that in mind, take a look at these three issues:

It's an issue of current and long term value It's an issue of financing It's an issue of classification for taxationWhen it comes to these issues, most all home building techniques fall under the "stick built" umbrella except for manufactured/mobile homes. This means, kit homes, log homes, panelized homes, Sip & Icf homes and modular homes.

When you hear "stick built," think primary home, built on a permanent, in ground foundation and constructed (or assembled) on site.

For the home's value, it's a much great long-term solution than a manufactured/mobile home.

Taking an Alaskan Cruise - What to Pack

Casual clothing - You will want to take some casual clothing for the daytime. This will include jeans, cords, turtlenecks, and sweaters.

Dress in layers - If you dress in layers, you can add or subtract layers as the weather dictates.

Outerwear - You probably will not need a heavy down coat if you dress in layers, however, you will need a jacket.

Dinner wear - You will want to dress up for supper each night. If you stick to a core wardrobe color, you can mix and match. Use bold accessories such as pins, necklaces, and scarves to turn up the look.

Shoes - Try to plan your wardrobe nearby one basic color so that your shoes will match everything. Of course, supper shoes will be dissimilar from every-day shoes.

Other Accessories - Try to keep jewelry to a minimum. You don't want to lose your favorite solitaire necklace over the railing of the ship! So just take a few, uncostly pieces, and also use scarves to brighten up outfits.

Misc - Remember to take your camera and binoculars. Don't forget the film and extra batteries. An umbrella may also be needed.

By packing this way, you may be able to get all things into one suitcase and a backpack that you can carry with you on the plane. You'll be prepared and worry free!
