Oh! I love your house, Spy! I love what you did in the master bath :-)

Aren't you just so excited now? I am! It is very stressful, but it all works out. LOL, I saw the pics with the sod and I was grinning. Yep, have to make room for the puppy dawgs.

I'll post again after I have a clear path in ALL rooms!

Spy, It's so cool to have watched this from beginning to end. I hope you don't mind if I hijack this thread to show the progress of our homes?

Here is the first step of the marketing plan.... this sign is in front of our house, and shows an artist rendering of what the homes will look like upon completion.

Our website should be up and running by tomorrow! They've cut down about 40 trees (mostly dead ones) in the past week. Unfortunately two giant pines had to go that we wanted to save. But I guess some people wouldn't want a tree in there living room... As per usual, construction is behind schedule, but should be starting sometime next week.

Spy, we would like to put in automatic sprinklers and I was wondering if it costs a fortune to do that?

RG the condos look like they'll be very attractive. Hope you're able to post some "in progress" and "finished product" pictures the way Spy did.

Wow, 3548 square feet is pretty darn big. I guess that must include the basement?

Juju, I was surprised to see the square footage too... It must include the basement! I will take pictures of the progress... it looks like I'll have to be trudging out in the snow to do it, but for TVCH, I will!!

We're moving the fireplace to the wall between the family room and master bedroom with the option of having a "two-sided" fireplace. So they can have a fireplace in the bedroom too, if they wish. Then the family room will have the whole wall with windows, and french doors leading out to a lakeside deck. It's a vaulted ceiling in there, so it will have a magnificent view of the lake.....

Master bath will have a jacuuzi/ two person tub...

Kitchen will have hickory cabinets, granite or corian countertops, and hardwood floors throughout.

They finally started digging the basement yesterday. Couldn't have picked a nicer day! It was 14 degrees out!! We got the final bid and it was a whopping $60,000 more then the first one a year ago. Lumber prices went up because of all the bad weather in Florida apparently but we will adjust the prices accordingly. The first one we build is already reserved, so hopefully we will have some money by mid spring. YAY! I'll go take pictures of the "hole" today and keep taking them through completion! Eventually I'll need help with some decisions i.e. Paint colors, window treatments, and the like for the "model" we will finish. That is unless they all sell before I can do a model... wouldn't that suck!

The above picture and floor plans look great RG, I sure do wish I had the money and a job up in that area, I'd move there in a second.

I second that Jagger!

Can't wait to see the pics as this all progresses, RG. And I'll be right here waiting to give my opinions when the time comes!

I've got a couple of pictures of the "hole" but they don't accurately depict just how massive it is. The mound of dirt is taller then the neighbors house, and I guess the whole is deeper then the house is tall too!

Good idea putting Michael in the pics so we can see how big the hole is! Is that the neighbor to the west? This is exciting RG!

Urgrace, that's only about 1/8 of it...lol! I guess it would be about 70 wide by 65 deep, by 12 foot or more down....And we didn't find any bodies, so that's a good sign!

LOL, was that a concern, RG?

I don't think I could handle the stress of building a house, but I think it's so cool to watch the progress, lol. Several years ago, houses were being built in an existing neighborhood down the street from my moms and one of the fun parts of our day was picking the kids up from her house after work and driving through. You could see major progress from day to day, it was pretty neat.
