Journal Entry 040514-A: The Bay Breeze!

2014-04-05T10:04:00.001-05:00

Friends,

The Bay Breeze was the home my ex-wife and I were going to build in the summer of 2004.

It was named in honor of my parents night club that was destroyed by Hurricane Camille in August 1969.

The Bay Breeze Club was located on the South Side of Battleship Parkway across from the WUNI radio station.

I decided with my ex-wife to delay construction of our new home on County Road 24 at Sherwood Drive due to pressure on the construction industry at the time.

I was looking forward to having my "Team" at Classic Southern Homes, LLC build this home as it was going to have some features and amenities NOT included in our "Standard" package and "Custom" package of Features and Amenities!

The enclosed "Breezeway, Bonus Rooms and Garage were my favorite attributes of this plan not to mention the Porches!

It was to be our first "truly" custom home because I had discussed with my ex-wife the possibility of her getting her License and utilizing her talents for "Interior" design to create her own home-building company that I had hoped she would be able to build a "Speculative" house or two.

The Mortgage was approved but to be perfectly honest I am glad we did not proceed because just a few months later Hurricane Ivan would make land-fall at Lighthouse Beach just West of Gulf Shores, Alabama.

The Hurricane made the pressure on the Construction Industry at least in our area almost unbearable in the months following the storm. In fact Hurricane Katrina dealt the Industry in our Area to my knowledge almost a death blow. Katrina was an awful blow to the Central Gulf Coast as was Ivan in 2004 and I'm sure just about anywhere else that hurricane's affected in those two years.

I think I will stop here. I just need too.

The plan was included in our brochure but I have never and will most likely never ever build this home!

I hope you like the plan. It was mine and my ex-wife's design.

Please contact Rhinetta Homes in Mississippi or Dukes Homes in Alabama! I'm sure Chip or Hayne would build this home for you and build a damn good home for you at that my friends!

They are my friends and always will be but honestly they will build you a fine home!

God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!

Journal Entry 033114-A: The New Meridian with a Bonus Room!

2014-03-31T17:01:00.001-05:00

Friends,

The inspiration for re-designing the Meridian to include a bonus room came to my "team" at Classic Southern Homes, LLC and myself after the construction of Alabama State Trooper Jenkins Home just South of Downtown Daphne.

The Meridian as our Model Home had been so popular that I for one know I stood out side in front of the model home located at the intersection of county road 13 and county road 64 with the floorplan in hand and contemplated how the bonus room could be incorporated into a stock floor plan that could be included into our brochure.

I worked with my ex-wife my planning service and other members of the Classic Southern Homes, LLC team to many to mention in this post to determine if my ideas and theirs would work.

The plan turned out great and was added to our "stock" plans sometime prior to Hurricane Ivan.

The step was to see if it was received by the public and build one of the damn things!

As luck would have it the public loved it and we sold five prior to Hurricane Ivan and having the opportunity to work out any "kinks" in the plan while having one under construction.

The New Meridian with a Bonus Room is a beautiful home once completed and was offered both in our "standard" package and "custom" package of "features and ammenities".

I hope you love the floor-plan. I certainly do myself personally and like I said "I hope you like it as well".

God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!

Journal Entry 031814-A: The Monticello and The Sarasota!

2014-03-18T17:27:00.001-05:00

Friends,

The Monticello and The Sarasota were two additional stock plans and offered for construction under contract by my team at Classic Southern Homes, LLC from July 15, 2001 to August 8, 2005!

Actually the Monticello may have been in my original stock plans but the Sarasota was added later.

I helped design both plans none-the-less either with my planning service or with my customers if not as a three-way team.

The Monticello and The Sarasota were offered to be constructed within 100 miles of my model home in Daphne, Alabama within the State of Alabama.

The "Standard" and "Custom" Packages of "features" and "Ammenities" were offered for both floor plans as was the ability for our clients to make any changes to the floor plans or the individual package selected by our clients.

My team at Classic Southern LLC constructed 1 Monticello and approximately 3 Sarasota's during that period of time.

I beleive all were the "Custom" Package except possibly one.

For me the team included everyone from the planning service to Andrees Wine and Cheese here in Fairhope that provided a basket left for our Clients after the "Walk-Thru"!

I had a possible 100 different Companies and Individuals listed on my "Cost-to-build" sheet!

I hope you enjoyed the post and if you find you like the plan please consider Dukes Homes in Alabama or Rhinetta Homes in Mississippi!

Stop by and see me at Battleship Marine if you need anything for your boat, boat trailer or marine engine.

I have Nautical gifts and athletic gifts as well.

Local businesses items wanted or for-sale are featured on the advertising page!

God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!

As "Owner and Builder" at Classic Southern Homes, LLC from July 15, 2001 to August 8th 2005 our team of suppliers and tradesman completed approximately 5 of the "Custom Homes" shown in this post that were contracted to be built on your lot within 100 miles of my Model Home located in Daphne, Alabama.

I offered both of these homes to be constructed in our "Standard" Package of Ammenities and Features as well as the "Custom" Package of Ammenenities and Features!

If my memory serves me correct all 5 of these homes were constructed under contract as the "Custom" Package of Features and Ammenities.

God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!

Friends,

The Classic Southern Homes, LLC team with Floyd Clifton Wooley as builder from July 15th 2001 until August 8th 2005 offered the following two floor plans to be built on your lot within 100 miles of Daphne, Alabama!

The two plans shown were offered in two packages of amenities and features with changes to the floor plan and amenities at our customers request. I helped design these plans many times from a customers sketch or another plan they had seen and worked with in some way too make it more acceptable as their "Dream Home"!

The two packages were the "Standard" package and the "Custom" Package!

I had a predetermined price on my "Stock" plans and worked from the closest "Stock" plan that fir the design and style as well the amenities offered in the two Packages!

The "Team" at Classic Southern Homes, LLC contracted and built 2 Gulf Breeze Homes and 1 Augusta!

I was proud to be a part of the team and I thought I would share the memory with you!

Floor Plans 110313-A: The Charlotte and The Orleans!

2013-11-03T16:45:00.001-06:00

Friends,

The Charlotte and The Orleans were offered to be constructed on our clients lots and/or Land between July 15th 2001 and August 2005 by our "team" at Classic Southern Homes, LLC.

The Charlotte was in the "original" brochure but the Orleans was named for a client that brought in a version in July 2001.

I offered both floor-plans to be built as the "standard" package or the "custom" package.

The Charlotte if my memory serves me correct was constructed for "four" clients.

The Charlotte was the first home I constructed as a builder and the Orleans was the second home I constructed as a builder- in fact I was standing on the foundation pad for the "Orleans" the day our nation was "attacked" on September 11, 2001!

I never will forget hearing the attack being broadcast over the radio that I had left on in my 97 Yukon while I walked over to inspect the foundation pad Mr. William Walley of Fairhope had just completed for me.

The Orleans was constructed for "two" clients.

I hope you like the floor plans.

Floor Plans 102313-A: The Perdido and The Savannah!

2013-10-23T19:52:00.001-05:00

Friends,
The "team" at Classic Southern Homes, LLC offered The Perdido and The Savannah to be constructed on your lot within 100 miles of Mobile, Alabama from July 15, 2001 until 2005.
The plans were offered to be constructed in one of two packages of Ammenities and Features.
The "Custom" Package or the "Standard" Package with "Custom" changes made during the planning stages by the Sales/Pre-Construction Co-Ordinator and Mickey Stewart Planning Service Prior to the Mortgage being applied for or for that matter a "Contract" having been signed between my Company and the Client.
All I asked my "team" to collect was a deposit on the "blue prints" with deposit being based on the "work-sheet" that detailed to me what changes to the floor plan were to made and what ammenities were to be added to the "Package"!
Once we finalized those changes and a contract price was finalized I would instruct my Sales/Pre-Construction Co-Ordinator to ask the Client to sign a contract so that the mortgage could be applied for with the Mortgage Company of their choice.
Changes after the contract were signed required an amendment to the contract and changes to the "blue prints". The amendment and if neccessary the new blue prints were then sent to the mortgage company for approval.
This was only possible if the new contract did not exceed the pre-approval mortgage amount most clients had already received from the mortgage company.
Classic Southern Homes, LLC built a total of:
2- Perdido projects and
8- Savannah projects during this period of time.
I am personally fond of The Perdido.
I hope you enjoyed the post and found something of value in reading not to mention I hope you like one or both of the floor plans.

2013-10-22T08:46:00.001-05:00

Friends,
As shown in the Classic Southern Homes, LLC brochure in 2005!
The Nathez.
The Richmond.
Both Floor Plans were offered both in the "Custom Package" and the "Standard" package of ammenities and features.
My team at Classic Southern Homes, LLC had the good fortune of building two Richmond Projects.
One Richmond was built in West Mobile and the other was built on piling on a Canal lot near Weeks Bay off County Road 27.
I want to personally thank the two families that allowed my Company to build those two homes for them.
Unfortunately our team never had the opportunity to build a Nathez.

Note the "Study" which with it's location near the Master Bedroom and Foyer is "ideal" as an "office" or "Nusery".

There were many ammenities offered in our "Custom Package" for this Home.

I had included this plan on the advice of Amy who at the time was employed at Micky Stewart planning Service.

This floor plan would eventually be re-designed as the Meridian and become our number one seller.

Friends,

The First "Meridian" that was originally based on the floor plan of the "Savannah".

I'm not gonna post the owners names on these posts in the future out of respect for their privacy.

However the home-owners and I made a few changes to the Savannah most of all we moved the garage from the front of the home to the right-end.

The Meridian would eventually become Classic Southern Homes, LLC's #1 seller and be constructed in the spring of 2003 as my "Model" home in Daphne, Alabama.

I beleive this project to have been my 4th Home constructed 101 miles from Daphne.

Friend's,

I thought I would post these pictures for a friend of mine.

My ex-wife and I were in the Chinese Restaurant on highway 98 in Tillman's Corner, Alabama when we looked outside and the snow started to fall.

Brian is the only man I ever called on a snowy day and asked if he would go to work moving a dump truck and trailer with a front-end loader in which the trailer had an oily, slippery all steel deck and he said "Hell Yes"!

God Bless you Brian Bolton. Man were those the days when it actually snowed in Mobile, Alabama and we went to work!

I hope putting that dad-gum transmission in the old van by hand hasn't hurt you as bad as it has me! I remember us laying there with the dad-gum thing on our chest saying something like- Dad-gum I think we can pick it up and it will go on in if everything stays lined up. LOL! Yeah. That's what we said.

Man I don't think I could have put that ring sleeve in that FWD at soft-ball city without you. I never will forget having the nut on the breather fall down into the carb on that job and having to repair that truck in the parking lot.

I never will forget that job in Huntsville, Alabama. Man there wasn't supposed to be any water in the ground there but maybe the soil report was done in August for God sakes. By October it was sleeting and gushing water in the bottom of those holes at the Blue Cross building.

You came out of the ground purple and shaking not to mention wet and I sure as hell appreciate what we had to do to get that job done. I wish my Dad had let us go to Hershey, Pennsylvania in January and put Caisson's in a area filled with broken up concrete. LOL!!! The job was only in January.

He had been to Charleston, West Virginia and got a hernia with old Ruben Johnson in the cold so I guess Hershey wasn't such a good idea for me to consider.

We fixed it and finished that dad-gum job dog-gonnit!

Those were the day's now I'm telling yall.

Your dad stopped by the store last year and I sure enjoyed talking with him.

I hope you and your family are doing well my friend.

God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!

Journal entry 121212-A: December 12th, 1985!

2012-12-09T18:46:00.004-06:00

Friends,

December 12th 1985 was a horrible day in the Floyd Edward Wooley family's life!

27 years ago on that date my "Best Friend" was almost killed in an accident on a Rainy cold and Dreary Day while working putting in Caisson's for the West Access Ramp Foundation's!

My "Father" Floyd E. Wooley was operating a Texhoma 500 Foundation Drilling rig for his Company he had founded in 1978- Southern Foundation Drilling Company, Inc. of Theodore, Alabama when a crane boom was accidently dropped on him as he "Drilled' what from memory were 42" Drilled Shafts to a Depth inside of a Steel Casing of 35' to 40' Feet.

Due to the "Heroics" of the man on the ground that day helping my father "Walter" my father upon being hit and falling to the ground from a platform 6' in the air from his "operator's" platform on the Drilling rig that was mounted on a Ford 500 10 wheel truck- the "Heroics" were that my father was not knocked unconscious and upon coming too asked "Walter" to please not lay him down because he had "blood" streaming down his throat from the injuries my father received that day!

My father had the prescence of mind to remeber a past incident in another man's life to realize that he might choke to death if he were layed down in the mud puddle and rain.

I can't remeber "Walter's" last name but where-ever he is "I want to thank him for being there that day.

I wasn't. It may have saved my father's life as I was at "USA Family Physicians" having an issue checked out with my own health.

My "Father" had just started teaching me how to "operate" a Texhoma Drilling rig and we may have both been on that rig and each other's way.

I have for year's carried "guilt" with me for not being on that job that day and at the same time wondering if my not being there may have saved my father's life.

I have no idea but "Walter" did save my father's life and for that I am thankful!

The University of South Alabama is where my father was taken by ambulance and their they indeed saved his life! There is much more to this story after that "fateful" day in the lives of My Mother and Father as well as mine but this is simply a tribute to my father's life the people that worked to save his life that day and afterwards.

God bless you Walter where-ever you may be today! Otherwise called "Walter Lewis" by myself in a fond way because "Walter Lewis" was the quarterback at The University of Alabama when he and I first met!

I wish I knew your last name my friend and one helluva a fine man to 'Save" my father for me and our Family that awful day.

"I Love you Dad!"
