Floor Plan

After about 22 floor plans our wonderful Contractor suffered though we finally settled on one! We have had a few changes still along the way but nothing that was too big for these guys to handle! 

Todd (our builder) introduced us to Jason (our architect) who has seen some of our challenges and found ways to make things work for us! Since Todd told him how many times we went through the floor plan process he has kept us in the loop and made it super easy for us to talk to him and throw ideas his way even if they are super crazy... 

We picked up our surveys for the land yesterday and will be heading out to the lots to see how everything is flagged out, this company has been dragging its feet and has put us about a week behind where we wanted to be with it, but we cant complain now that the paper work is in our hands! 

Since we have 3 lots we decided to build on 2 of them... monday we have to go downtown and get the property re-deeded correctly. This is because we cant finalize a construction loan on the house if it sits on two separate lots, following? Yea I'm learning a lot in this whole process! Did you know that when you file for a building permit, if the land needs clearing that you have to have a tree survey?! Yep learned that too! Todd gets to go out and flag the trees that need to be removed to build and then they come out and tell us what we need to re-plant to make up for the big boys that gotta go! 

Dear tree huggers, I love plants. I love the shade they give and the fruits they may bear so dont hate me for wanting to have a home, I promise that I will do whatever it takes to make up for the tress loss of life... wait a few of them are dead already and are currently home to some raccoons that the creepy neighbor is feeding... we will have someone re-locate them as well.
