I need input, or at least support!
I did a search and the only thread I could find was from wayyyy back in 2006.

Who has built a house and how was the process?
Would you do it again?
Building versus buying existing versus renovating?
Any tips and what can you tell me to do or not to do?
Any input on layout- what do YOU think is the best design?
We have almost, (almost!

*nail biting*!) decided to reserve a lot to build...we are leaning toward a two story, maybe around 1750-1800 square feet on two, with a walkout basement. NOTE: It would not be a walkout by our choice, but the lots that we like in our town (and two of the only decent lots in town!) are designated walkout basement lots. They back green space (a wooded marsh with walking paths) and are in a quiet crescent.
