It's the second and third basements and deciding if you want to have a separate lift for each vehicle or if you want to have a central lift you drive onto and off of in order to exit the garage. Decisions...decisions.

Building a house is such a drain, it was supposed to be done at the end of July

It's rather remarkable how much rework needs to be done because they just screw

It's crazy, it would save sooo much time if they would just take an extra 5 mins

Is it a problem installing the Olympic sized pool, tennis courts or indoor basketball court?

The hardest one was my helicopter building. Worth it though.

Those huge retractable roofs can be a pain.

It's cheaper to build a custom home where I live than buying an existing home.

My custom home builder tried to sell my house to someone else mid build.

I know! Do you get the pneumatic or hydraulic lift?

You have a really great floor plan. I've really enjoyed walking thru your house.
