    I wouldn't put the granite tops in there until you get a roof.

    We went off a floor plan and made changes. We had a basic layout we wanted and started there.

    What do you mean how much was the lot? They aren't selling 'lots'. You have to put a house on it.

    so technically you say you dont own that lot, or you got it for free? In the world of realestate that i know, you can buy 'lots' of land in which you can put a house on it (my family is currently selling a waterfront property composed of 5 lots in Chicago)

    Yes I own the land and the house on it.

    My friend TPain sounded like he wanted to buy a 'lot'

    I understand how it works.

    so you own the land, but did not buy it?

    you just found it unclaimed or something?

    I understand what he means. The final cost of the house will include the cost of the land, but the TOTAL LANDED cost will not be itemized to show the cost of the land per say.

    There has been a recent trend with new subdivisions not selling lots anymore because people are trying to "quick turn" them for profit. With the economoy the way it is, housing market to be specific, its better to require the purchaser to put a house on it.

    P.S> I got ur text, check ur PM and read the thread.

    I believe that it is a new subdivision. Trees are the scenery for now.

    Building is very gratifying. We finished our house a year ago last may. Took me 8 months to build it with a little help from family and a couple contractors here and there for the things I didn't want or have time to do myself. But I saved about $50-60k and I was able to build it exactly the way I wanted it and wire it the way I wanted it. It was HARD work and my health suffered from hardly sleeping and working myself into the ground but it is WELL worth it and I would do it again if we ever decided to. Good Luck and make sure to include everything you want or can even think of for the future. I added extra wiring for the future or anything else I might want in the future.


    Oh, wire it for house sound. Even if you never install the speakers, you will have it wired for sound. I just finally installed all my speakers last week and love having music through out the house now. If you do that, put volume controls periodically for rooms that you want to turn down like childrens rooms and such.

    Have fun!

    Correct

    There will be houses around me but the trees that are there are protected by the city of Milton. They ONLY way they get removed is if they die. That is awesome for me. I want the trees!

    Cool. I hope I have some stuff too so I can take pictures

    It actually will be quite big. We will fence behind the first row of planted trees. Leave the big forest behind like it is. Should be quite nice. Again, I want the trees. Not gonna clear anything out!

    This is the reason why I like this neighborhood. Every other one has clear cut the entire place and adding 1 or 2 trees per lot. I have a HUGE old tree in the back corner of my lot and it is AWESOME!

    We simply don't need/want a basement. Just not necessary and just space we don't need. This house will have space to expand with a family and someplace we can stay in for a good while.

    Next house will probably have a basement but not now. I don't like to have the monster house with all this space that no one ever uses. Just not my style.

    Will go by tomorrow and update

    This is the fast part. Once electric and drywall need to be done it will take longer.

    Wow that's going up really fast. nice!!

    My wife and I just bought a house as well.. Closing date on it is the 29th of Aug!! We're really excited a nice upgrade from the last house we had.. More land, bigger house, more upgrades etc.. This is the second new house we've owned and this time we went with all the upgrades, hardwood throughout the main floor, granite everywhere, stainless steel appliances, you name it on a acre lot..

    Trust me on this one, there is no better feeling than walking into your own house for the first time!!

    I don't want to take over your thread but here are a few quick pics of mine as I'm excited as well!!!
