Hope this is the right forum... I have mentioned in other posts our desire to get going on not only the tractor purchase, but our "final" home, as well. Have been worried about finding a good, reputable builder in whom we have confidence. This week I think we accomplished that considerable project. At first my wife and I thought we would have to seek out someone out of town. But, the person we chose has an absolutely stellar reputation (consulted several folks unknown to one another who have used him and produced absolutely zero negative comments). He constructs one house at a time, has employed a couple of guys for 20 years, and quoted us prices $25-$30 per square foot less than others in this area while being willing to complete upgrade detailing. He appears to be a craftsman who clearly understands structures. He has no experience with geo-thermal which we plan to use, but is willing to investigate those in the area with experience and bring them onboard for that portion of the project.
He met with us today and we were completely comfortable and impressed. Some of you know that I'm cautious in dealing with "dealers" of any kind and the meeting today just took a load off. Not only all of the above, but he can begin construction by Sept 1 (earlier if we finalize our design). This is such good news for us, I felt compelled to share it. At the risk of boring TBNers, I'll post more, including pictures of our dream as it progresses. Have to admit, I'm chaffing at the bit to get my tractor and post picts of "the Land" and the various projects. Would love to get "into" the post on wiring and other more "down the road" details. More to come; wish us luck.
