Well, Jeff, the boys, and I went to visit the model of our house and the lot today and realized that our house will be facing the wrong way. With over 3500 sq. ft. our plan of utilizing the sun as an energy source is not only going to save us money, it will help us do our part to live "green". In order to best utilize solar energy, our house needs to face North so the back of the roof will face South for the best exposure. Well, our lot has us facing the wrong way. So... we consulted with our (not-so-helpful) agent "Ryan" who said; "I think your plans have already been turned in to construction. If that is the case, we cannot make changes at this point. I will not be able to find out until tomorrow." So we picked a lot (directly accross the street from our current lot) in hopes that the plans have not been turned in. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
This Blog will be a documentation of our homebuilding process from dirt lot to move-in (and beyond)! I will post pictures, share my thoughts, and ask for input!
