I'm crossing my fingers that we can get it built in time. We'd like to spend Christmas in our new house.

It's good to hear stuff like that. If we were to believe what you read in the forums, you would think steel is the obvious choice. I'm guessing that the prices for steel adjust about as much as gas does. The sketch of your house looks great! I'm relatively new to this forum, but look forward to seeing the progress of your house. Do you have a tentative finish date? I know from my own remodel that those dates are pretty flexible. It's got to be pretty exciting to take on the project though. Good Luck!

It was a letdown for sure, but we are still extremely happy with the design, even with the wood constuction.

It's good to see some folks trying to break the habit of master planned communities with 500 lots and 4 models to choose from. I just wanted to ask and see if you looked into SIP or steel construction instead of traditional framing? I'm just trying to find out if those other methods just aren't as cost effective in our area. And to keep any home in the valley under 400K these days is nothing short of a miracle. I applaud your efforts to keep the price realistic. Jason Jacob,
