Ok, I will jump in here too!
Ralph answered most of the questions ( I think)
It seemed as if it took forever to get to this point, but
here is a run down of how it went
Purchased the property in Mar 05
Cleared the road and house site Jun 05
Decided on a design by Oct 05 and then worked on pricing.
Once we decide on a design, had the arch draw them up.
Submitted the permits in March 06, took about 3-4 weeks.
Signed the contract with the builder in Oct 06 and started on
the foundation.
It took 21 months to finally get a construction loan and started
construction of the buildings in Aug 08.
Ralph retired last June and was very beneficial is monitoring
the project and kept things on track. It would have been
much harder for us if that hadn't been the case.
Now the big challenge is the landscaping.
