Here we go!!!!

Today we should receive the house plans from www.designsforliving.net  My specific floor plan can be seen here http://www.designsforliving.net/plans/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=86 The architect was C. Lyle Scott, I had a chance to speak with him before buying the plans.  This home was the 2005 Parade of Homes "Best of Show" house in Washington State.
There is a picture of the front of the house available, so ours should look something like this:

The floor plans for the lower floor have a large living area, and all the bedrooms are on the upper level.  We chose a 1 acre lot across from the old Kernersville Lake Park.  The lake will be almost in our backyard.
We have selected a builder as well.  We have been working with Chris Thompson of PCI Builders in Kernersville, NC ( http://www.pcibuildersinc.com ).  PCI Builders are a Green Home and Energy Star Compliant builder that have been in business for several years in the Kernersville area.  I'm hoping that the "green" and "energy star" design of their homes will translate into saving money over the life of the home.

Here is a view of the lot we plan to build on:

The plans did come, 6 copies in perfect condition as promised from www.designsforliving.net.  Now we will review the plans with our builder and discuss any modifications we would like to see done.
