CHECK OFF ONE, ADD TWO MORE...

As we check off one item from the endless "To Do List", we seem to add more items.  However, the entire process is very exciting and is going very well.  Everyone has been very helpful, friendly, and accommodating to our schedule.

NVR APPROVAL
We received notice that our financing is approved.  The next step is to get on the construction "start" schedule, set-up a formal meeting with the Project Manager, and schedule the pre-construction meeting. 

ELECTRICAL
We are scheduled to meet with the contractor on Friday, April 8th to discuss the wiring for the electrical, cable, and phone jacks.  We have already decided that we want additional cable and phone jacks; as well as, electrical boxes for either a ceiling light or fan.

FLOORING
We are scheduled to meet with the contractor on Friday, April 8th to discuss the flooring options.  We have an idea on what we would like to do; however, it is subject to change based on either us changing our minds or cost.

HOME LOCATION PLAN (PLOT PLAN)
We are scheduled to meet with the Sales Rep. and PM to discuss the placement of our house on the property.  The PM is suggesting to push the house back from the road an additional 15-20 feet, which will allow for less of a slope in the front yard, but takes away from the back yard.

IT'S OFFICIAL ... WE ARE BUILDING A HOUSE

On March 29, 2011, we signed the agreement and placed our deposit to begin our adventure on building a house.  The following are a few pictures of the lot.
