Cat and John,
This is a great thread and it could go on in several different directions. Mella has asked for a list, and I'd like one also. The quote I extracted from what Cat said got me wondering if you guys could give me a clue of the kinds of surprises that your typical first-time builders experience. I imagine that list is long and depends on several things, but what are the typical surprises in building a single family home from lot clearing and leveling through to the finish trim?

Aloha pumehana,
