met another builder........
Tonight we met another builder, Marcus' first and my second. I have a feeling this may be one of the hardest decisions... well maybe until we get the estimates! I like him (I am not going to mention any names), and he seemed to be ok with everything we wanted in our home. He is very familiar with the Township, so that is a plus. He said they are easy to work with! We received the signed agreement the other day, also a plot plan. A plot plan shows where we can build at on the property. Every Borough/Township has "setbacks" which is how far from the street you can build, how far from the back of the property line, and side of the property line. Our set back is 50 feet from the front and back, and 15 1/2 feet from each side. We have no problem with the sides... but as it turns out, this house plan i have been drawing for months just makes our front-back requirement by 6 inches!! The length of our plot of land is 165 feet long, and take 50 off for the front, and 50 off for the back you are left with 65 feet, which is how deep our house can be. My drawing is 64 1/2 feet deep! I couldn't believe i was that close! It's pretty cool though.Well I also got my pamphlet for Certainteed Fiber Cement siding. We are going fiber cement, but which color? We are thinking two toned- horizontal on the bottom, and shakes on the top.. but since Marcus has a hard time seeing colors, its kind of hard to find one. Well we have a lot of time for that. Well that's all the information needed for one night.
