We should be getting pricing back any day now. When they do the first round of pricing, they also have the cabinet folks provide a full set of renderings as part of that process. So that adds a few days to the process. Once we get the pricing back, we’ll meet with our sales professional

The week ended with a lovely first stab at a basement layout for us. Much like the exterior draft, we did have some changes and modifications. We really weren’t sure how to best arrange the basement, so having them do it first gave us a good starting point. Once we had that, we could better

We got a version 1.0 of our version of the Brightwater II plan. It’s exciting to see our names on a draft building plan that represents our house.
