We've been looking at and playing with the new house plan. I called this morning to request a modification estimate, because we want to build on a crawl space, not a drive-in basement. We chose this plan because we like the split layout with the master bedroom on one side and the other bedrooms on another. The house we live in now has all the bedroom doors right together, and it's not very private for anyone. Another thing we like is the large bedrooms for us and the boys, a front and back view, and being able to build a screened porch off the dining room (which on the floor plan is still a breakfast nook, but we're changing that, and changing the dining room to be more living room).
We hope to sign on the land in a week or two. The building money is sitting in the bank, waiting. This is a backward way to do things - buy your land first. Other than requesting the modifications, and reading everything I can find on being your own contractor and small home design, we have done nothing. I'm waiting until we sign on the land, then we'll start getting estimates on the clearing and foundation, and I'll start the permit process.
