Lower Level Living

Finishing your basement can be a great way to add more space to your house without adding the kind of money it takes to add on to your home. Here are some pics of a recent basement completion project we did near Wabeno, Wisconsin. We added a bedroom and cut into the existing concrete wall and added an egress window. Part of the project included adding a large closet with lots of storage shelves. And last but not least……a wet bar area for entertaining.

Knowing where your Property Boundaries Are
Posted by admin on May 19, 2011
Do you know exactly where your property corners are?? When Bohm Builders positions your new home with you, prior to excavation, there are many factors that play into how we position it. We take into consideration many factors, among them are: 1) Customer’s preference, 2) View 3) Distance to septic, power source and well, 4) Topography to name a few. One of the biggest factors is setback regulations. How far we need to be setback from the street or road or highway. How far we need to be setback from a a river, stream, lake or pond. How far we need to be setback from the side yard lot line, or rear yard lot line. Each municipality or county or township or all of them have minimum setback distances in place and are enforceable. Taking all these factors into consideration, we can easily position your home, on your lot. But you need to show us where your property boundaries are. Once you show us, positioning the home is a breeze. If you do not know, or you are uncertain, you may want to consider having your property surveyed to determine where your land is exactly. This makes sense, is the safest way to position your home so you can avoid possibly being too close to the lot line or too close to your neighbor’s septic system or too close to the State Highway Centerline. I’ve attached a brochure that you can download, that gives a few more tips about having an official survey done.Land Surveyor pg 1Land Surveyor pg 2

Varmint Deterrent
Posted by admin on Mar 23, 2011
We built a deck on a log home last spring that was fairly low to the ground and the owner was concerned about rabbits and mice and squirrels and chippies taking up residence underneath his deck. So we came up with a solution and purchased this wire mesh that we installed behind the deck’s skirting. The mesh comes in various sizes and colors. This mesh was actually colored green and could have easily been used without something covering it. Here are some pictures of the installed mesh and the deck’s skirt covering material

When you have Bohm Builders include the well in our Construction Contract(if you are building in the country), we take care of all of this for you.

- The fee for constructing a private well is $50 and includes drive point wells.
- Fees can be paid at any of the 1500 locations where you can purchase a DNR hunting or fishing license or you can purchase one online for an additional $3.00 fee.
- The fee can be paid by either the owner of the well or the well constructor. Regardless of who pays the fee, it is the well constructor’s responsibility to obtain a copy of the receipt showing the DNR Notification Number before commensing work on the well.
Whether purchasing the Notification permit online or from a vendor, be prepared to answer the following questions:
- Name of Well Driller
- Well Type – New or Replacement
