building a house... Last update for a while!!

Hi everyone! I rarely post on here (on LIWeddings mostly) and to be honest, i just noticed the Home board.YAY! Chat Icon

Well my FH and i bought land back in May i believe. We we're looking at houses for a while and it was a lost cause. We couldn't find anything under $700,000 that we'd even want to live in. It's nuts! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Well here's what we've been busy doing lately. Let me tell you... building is not easy at all! so many problems!!!

Here's our trees...

To save money... my FH cut all of our trees down on the lot. Of course we had a bit of help here and there. But it was such hard work and took a long time.

This is basically going to be the finished product, except we're putting on a porch & the color of the house will be gray with black shutters. Chat Icon

Looks like it will be beautiful!!!!!

Can you do me a favor, dh & I are going to put a house up in Greenport on a family owned plot of land.
We are flip flopping with doing a regular home or a modular.
Can you please let me know which modular company you are using/ builder and which bank you went through to get a constuction loan?

You can fm me if you feel more comfortable.

We are just starting this process and are trying to narrow down our options.

Congrats on all that is going on with your life now,

Re: we're building a house and making progress... (pics included)

Thanks everyone! I will definitely keep the pictures coming. The house comes on september 7th so i'll have tons of pics of them putting it together! Chat Icon

Skygirl... the modular company i'm using is called Quality Crafted Homes/Primeline Modular Homes. They are located in Southampton and their office phone number is 631-726-9300. If you call, our builders name is Steve Graboski.

I will say that modulars are such great houses and they've come a long way. Now a days, you can't even tell that some of them are modulars. They really are built very well. The picture of the house i posted... we went to see the inside of that house (we know the people who own it). According to this couple, they are insulated extremely well, heated well, and they're quiet. If someone is on the top floor... you wouldn't even be able to hear them downstairs. Plus one major pro with modulars is that they take half the time to build and they typically cost less than stick built houses.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I'm an open book! Oh... we went through Chevy Chase bank for the construction loan. Chat Icon
