Well, David and I have met with four builders. We have seen houses by these four builders, and we like their work.
The first builder was great. He had a great personality, and he was very friendly. He met us at our lot and discussed our plans with us. He has built this house plan before, and he really likes it. He was even building this exact house at another location, and he told us we were welcome to go and see it at any time. We went and looked at the house, and we fell in love with it even more than we thought. We knew that we had picked the right plan.
We met the second builder at a model home that he had just finished building. The quality of the houses was nice, but we did not feel that his ideas were the same as ours. He was very friendly and nice, but overall we think that his houses were over priced for the neighborhood and the quality of work that we are looking for in a home was just not what we wanted in our home.
The third builder also met us at our lot. He was a very friendly guy too. He had also built this same house plan a few times in a neighborhood close to us. We have seen his work, and we like it. We gave him our ideas, and he is going to get back with us on a price.
We met with the fourth and last builder today. He has built several homes in the community where we plan to build our home. His homes are great. He was a very nice man. We also gave him our ideas, and he is going to get back with us on a price as well.
So it seems that we have this narrowed down to three builders. We love the work of all three builders. Now I guess it will come down to price. In the economy today, who will want to build this house for us as the best rate? We shall see. I am so excited to see what the numbers are going to be. :0)

House Plans
David and I have been looking at house plans for over a year now. There were just so many house plans that we loved, but most of them needed so many changes to fit our needs. After many months of talking and discussing the things that we wanted and needed, we finally came to a decision about the house plan for us. We have decided on the Kensington Park by Frank Bezt. I have posted some pics of the house and plans.
