#052: Construction allowances are misunderstood by many homeowners who have never built a custom home or renovated their current house. Allowances are easy to understand, they are a placeholder value for a particular item that will be used in the construction of your home. This allows you as the client to defer the selection of the item until a later date and allows the contractor to begin construction before all of the final decisions are made. If what you choose is more expensive than the allowance value carried, you pay more. If what you choose is less expensive than the allowance value carried you pay less and a credit gets issued towards the overall construction budget.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
