BUILDING PART III

Decisions
Part III

Purchasing a home is a major decision and the ability to change Jimmy Jacobs Custom Home plans helped to make our decision an easy one. Besides, we built once before with JJCH and know how easy the process is. We selected one of the standard floor plans that we “almost love”. In fact, Dave was the one that got excited about the “Athens” floor plan and would have taken it just they way it is. But, I want my house to be “our home” just the way “we want it”. So, I have made changes to the plan, Dave has designed his garage, and it feels good to know we do not have to compromise on what we want.

This week’s decision and adventure took us out to the stone quarry and “show yard”. Here you really get a good idea of the stone Georgetown is built on. As you drive up to the quarry you will notice a stone wall and the pattern changes about every eight feet. Once you turn in to the driveway there is another long stone wall displaying more examples of stone. The office resembles at 1800’s style two story home. Each side of the building shows a different combination of stone colors and patterns. It was not necessary to go out to the stone yard to select the color of stone for our home, it was interesting and it did help to make our decision easier. If you go—do not wash your car first and be prepared to get a little dusty.

Now that we have purchased our lot, customized our floor plan, staked out the lot where the house will sit, made some personal selections; we are looking forward to seeing the “sticks” in the air. Sometimes I still can’t believe we are doing this. But, it is such a good time to build and take advantage of the low interest rates.
Don’t forget about the new model home we are building in Shady Oaks Estates. It should be completed in another month. Come out and visit and look at all construction going on. We are not the only buyers taking advantage of the interest rates.
