We are continuing to work with Kai and David on the floorplans, and we think those are done. Next came specifications and pricing and contracts. We finalize the contract with the bank tomorrow, and in about 25 days all of that paperwork is hopefully done and we can finally break ground!
It was becoming painfully obvious already the extent of decision-making that will need to get done in the future months as we reviewed and made some changes to the specs. Luckily for us Kai is very patient and is quite willing to work with us for what works best for our family.
We are continuing to work on elevation options as well (exterior design). We are working within a Craftsman style home. Although quite a few of the other houses in the area are already this style, I'm still a fan, as I think it brings a simple and cozy feel to the overall home. Brian and I went and toured some houses in the Village of West Clay area for some ideas. I'm sure we looked incredibly suspicious cruising slowly through this neighbourhood and periodically rolling down windows so I could snap a few photos! There were many amazing homes in this area, but of course, we were only looking for a few with some specific design elements.

We also went to our first Home Show Expo today, and managed to get a few ideas about what we do and don't like. I think the more we research ahead, the "easier" it will be when it comes time to make the final call.
And in the meantime, we are continuing to get our current house prepped for the market!
