He's gonna let us know tomorrow he says.

I have everything crossed!

We have a 1/2 acre block of land and are currently looking at house designs so interested in any input from wherever, whoever. Can you start a new thread youngy73 on what to look out for in specs i.e. the cost cutters, the cost concuse and the realistic & the over the top?
