Here are some pictures of the house plans

We have a hole!

Giant pile of stumps that were dug up. You can also see the markers of the house lay out. We are slowly making progress.

We have final plans

We received the final plans and contract on Friday. I am very happy with the plans and see no need for changes. We plan to sign the contract and return it to the builder next week. The building will start as soon as he feels the weather will cooperate!

First to dig!

We will be the builders first house to dig this Spring! I am hoping for March but it depends on the weather. He said it would take about 5 1/2 months to build.

Meeting with the builder tomorrow!

We are meeting with him to give him a deposit. He will draw up a complete plan and then we will start the process! I am excited to know when he projects that he will start the building. I am hoping we will be able to get in by late summer. :)

Picked up the drawing plans from builder #3

We like about everything in this builders plan. I would change just a couple of things on his plan from first glance at it. I would make the linen closet in kids closet smaller so daughter can have a bigger closet. Also, make screened in porch a little different.

We need to discuss our top $ we will spend before the estimate comes in. We are liking builder #3 and want to work with him.  I am hoping the cost is about what we anticipate

Picking up the drawing for builder 3

He called and we can pick up the house plan drawing tonight! He will not have the estimate until Friday. I am afraid we will love the hose drawing and the cost will be too high.  I hope not. I will post back later once we see the house plans.

No call from builder number 3

We were really hoping to hear from builder #3 yesterday. He said he would call on Friday but he did not. I am learning patience already with trying to build and we haven't even started. I hope to hear at the beginning of the week. If he doesn't call we will call him again.

I want to get started building this Spring so it would be nice to get the plans all in motion.

Finally heard back from builder #2

It took him 6+ weeks to get the bid done.  Then, he did it on the wrong house.  I can't believe he did this! As a result, number 2 is out of the running for us as a builder.

We hope to hear from number 3 tomorrow.  He called last week and said he would call tomorrow with a completed bid. I am very anxious to hear back from him and get this house building started.

Hope to hear from the builders soon

I am hoping we hear from the builders this week.  It would be nice to get all their proposals back and choose the builder for our house. If we don't hear back this week we may give them a call to see how they are doing with the proposals.
