Lori,
I totally agree with you on the carpet issue. My wife and I stopped
at a Menard's for kicks and giggles one day and came across a wooden floor sale
that they were having on higher quality wood floors. We ended up buying a
high quality wood floor for approximately 3 dollars a square

Most homes are designed for others to use. Rare is the custom home. To a
contractor, using a proven designs means a smooth project from pouring the
concrete, to framing the structure and adding the brick before the wiring,
water
and heat are added. To a building contractor, timing is
! I'm 40 now - my excuse. I think some are for woodworking, some for extra area and some that are detached are for live-ins or in-laws.

Thanks Mark, your schedule shows how important can be. A week off could
delay basic plumbing from being installed. 1500-2100 sq ft is a modest
structure
and not the most demanding when it comes to construction. Can you imagine a
community of 300 homes, all custom designed and custom built,
When you deviate from the row construction it can cost an enormous amount of money. For instance, my house was built with a paraplegic in mind. While it is not perfect for me, but very adequate for most paraplegics, it cost roughly $35,000 more than any of the other houses in my community. The
Building a structure is like taking a trip. You can take the road most
traveled, get there safe and know your expenses. Or you can take an unknown
road,
get lost find your way, get lost again and find you way again. You may
run out of gas with no place to refill and end up camping at a
