Their commercials are pretty slick and the people who use them make claims of saving 50, 60, 70k during building.
We wood have someone build the foundation and shell of the house and we wood finish the rest ourselves. Figure that we wood save 50-100 grand that way!

Julia is VERY excited about the prospect of building our own!

Ain't like you two aren't capable, Mike. I'm sure all the last minute changes Julia will suggest will test your patience.

I have a floor plan program and we will decide on a general lay out and build on it from there. I am sure that changes are inevitable and will be applied as necessary.
