Ummm... thats a good idea.. but I am building in a subdivision lot... regular size... I purchased a 1/2 acre lot in a really nice subdivision that I am in love with... closet to the shopping areas and best schools.... but this house we are building is still mine so no worries for now... lol

Cindy , You didn't tell me! How nice for the two of you !

You know that if you can make it through building a new home and stay married through it all, you have a very strong marriage. I've been married 4 times now.

Only joshing ya,

will you be having an open house when you get settled? I need to find a gift...I will start working on that one right away.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's so exciting!

Now lets see some floor plans! You should start a thread where you can show us pictures of the progress.

One word of caution... and I hope I'm proven wrong... but, don't believe them when they tell you when it will be ready. It seems they are NEVER on time!!!! If you keep that in mind going in you won't be so dissappointed if they run late.

Ain't that the truth! Our house took way longer than the builders told us. And I don't know if it's everywhere but anything they do had to be approved by the township and don't get me started on all the permits! We recently took down two trees in our backyard and we had to get a permit! HELLO I back up to a million trees and wetlands!

Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly!
