As the author of this site, I feel a little disclaimer is necessary. I am neither an architect nor a licensed contractor, nor am I a building professional of any kind - professionally, I am a software engineer. I am, however, a homeowner, and this is my wife and my second experience building a home (our first, a 3 bedroom, 1 and a half bath Cape, was built in 1992 as part of a larger development. We came in after framing was completed, but before rough-in work.) The information on this site represents our experiences and research in having our two homes built, and may not be at all applicable to your own circumstances. Use your own best judgement, and do your own research - after all, we all make mistakes.
