Builder wanted.

While the subdivision was in progress, we were hunting around for builders.

After a couple of false starts with builders that turned out to be more than we could afford, we re-evaluated our idea of a dream home and went with a project builder instead.
It all comes down to budget doesn't it?
As it turns out, one of Coral Homes designs, Barbados 344A was almost what we wanted, so with a few changes, we managed to achieve an acceptable layout with the rooms designed the way we prefer.
For example, I prefer wide open spaces so I got rid of any poky hallways by moving the lounge dining room walls in and turning that side of the house into an extended study area, an extra bathroom and a large laundry utility room. That gave us a lot more space in the kitchen (important for my chef husband who shall henceforth be referred to in this blog as OGB (old grumblebum)), and we also added a butler's pantry onto the side of the kitchen.

Now we're getting close to what we originally had in mind when we approached our first builder.
Mind you, it has taken 6+ months of looking, deciding, changing my mind, and starting all over again.

Fingers crossed that it all falls into place.

Now if we could only find a duplex builder.....
Lets hope tomorrow's meeting with antech proves fruitful.
