It begins, well not really....but almost!

So today we actually met with the builder, for real. We've met previously, but this was the final meeting to decide that we are ready and get some big questions answered. Talk about exciting! We can't wait to get this started, but we were sure NOT to bring along the checkbook to this meeting. Lots of questions got answered - he put us at ease on several issues - but of course a few more have popped up. The next step (after writing the check LOL) is setting up a meeting with the architect. We're lucky that we have such a detailed vision for this home. That comes from walking through what seems like 100 townhomes over the past couple of years. It should give him a clear sense of what we want. The builder will also take the core samples for the foundation. Cool stuff.

This blog is mainly for us. To help document this big step and adventure we're about to begin. (Although it hardly seems like beginning since the planning started over a year ago!) I'll try and throw in some pics of the process over time. We'll celebrate our successes and hopefully not encounter too many frustrations.
