Digging should being right around 3/1. Then 90-120 days later should be all done. I'll be taking tons of pics of the whole progress, and will post some of em. Kinda crazy how they can build this all so quickly.

Congrats! That will be exciting to build a house!

Is it a predetermined builder? Did you pick your house plans?

[Halon]

Yup. We've spent about the last 2 years visiting open houses / parade of homes. Had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted. About 6 months ago, we started talking to builders. Spoke with a lot of builders (Paulson, Capstone, TJB, Accent, SW Wold, Woodland, Herritage, Homes by James, Gorham, Hedberg, Lennar...) total before finally signing a contract yesterday with Regency Homes. Chose them because they seemed to be excellent quality, but allow us to choose some cheaper finishing options to help keep cost resonable. And Lori's communication and willingness to help, answer questions, meet and talk, far outshined any of the competition. And her husband owns Serum's in Anoka so we told her the whole deal was contingent on whether or not they can get us free wings :)

The floorplan isn't finalized. But in a nutshell it'll be a rambler with a walkout basement. 5bed, 3 bath. We sat down with the drafter yesterday. Showed them the BEFORE and AFTER pic that I made, based off their Manchester floor plan. They were incredibly amazed with my MS Paint skills, lol. Here's what we have so far, probably not exactly how it will be in the end, but just an idea.

Looks good, B!

Perhaps I am being daft, but where did you two decide to locate?

[Halon]

Blaine, same city we're in right now, but just a couple miles away. Kinda near 35W and Lexington.
