Home Building

We are going to build our next house!  It will be a fun process but a little stressful being so far away from it all and having to trust the builder and realtor and home inspector from afar.

Dan and I have looked at countless floor plans and exteriors and both have very similar likes and plans for our next house.  Because of this (and the crazy high airfares currently) we have decided that I will fly out alone Jan 3-6 to Virgina and buy a house - or at least a plot of land and a blueprint in hopes of it turning into a beautiful home.



For those who saw our spread sheet we have narrowed it down to: K. Hovnanian's Delaware, DR Horton's Piedmont and Drees' Buchanan (above).  I like the Buchanan the best.  Drees offers the most floorplan flexibility so I have Photoshopped some changes to the original plan and perhaps I can submit it ahead of time and see if it is possible.  I am really happy with the main floor plan but not 100% sold on the upstairs layout.  I dont think we personally need 4 bedrooms but perhaps future renters will.  I could go with their Jack and Jill layout as well (from the speadsheet) and make it a 3 bedroom instead - but I really do want to move Laundry downstairs and have a mudroom/dogroom downstairs.  Let me know if anyone has a brilliant idea for the layout of the 2-3 bedrooms and 2 full baths.  I like the bonus room and owner's suite part.

I will be sure to keep everyone updated with any news in this area.
