Did you know …
We install security cameras on most of our job sites during construction. YUP! For the safety & security of our team members, we keep round the clock surveillance. We also install Starlink in our rural areas to make sure we have the best feed possible.
Everybody meet my new friend, Millie! Millie is a full time employee with our plumbing team. She is learning from her dad & other team members, and works for her Grandpa!
I told her I wanted to take this picture to remember her second day on the job, so that in 10 years, when she’s running the company, we can look back and smile at this picture!
WELCOME, MILLIE! We are so excited for all the success that will come your way! ❤️❤️❤️ David & Teri, well done.

Where are you watching your team from today? Living room? Basement? Man cave? Not at home? We could see ourselves cheering on our team from this basement bar.
AVERY’S PLAN REVIEW 🏡
OK, this one has A LOT going for it.
What I LOVE:
• The entry creates a true foyer AND gives you a great coat closet. You know I love a real entrance.
• It’s open concept, but the dining room gives some separation between the kitchen and living room. Translation: the TV doesn’t have to be blaring directly at Mom (or Dad 😂) while dinner is being made.
• The cathedral ceiling in the living room gives even more visual separation and makes that space feel special.
• LOVE the size of the island, and I really like having the sink on the rear wall instead of in the island.
• The rear entry is really well thought out.
What I’d change:
• Grow the garage. Obviously. 😂
• I don’t think I need two entrances into the laundry room. Cool in theory, but I’d rather have more cabinetry, countertop for folding and hanging space.
• I really think this house needs a half bath near the rear entry.
• Those 10' x 10' bedrooms are SMALL. For full time kids, I’d want to look at growing them. For occasional guest rooms or grandkids, I think they’re doable.
• I’m not totally sold on the exterior as shown, BUT give me this floor plan with a more modern cottage exterior and now we’re talking.
Overall, I REALLY like this one. The layout gives you openness without everything feeling like one giant room, and there are just a few places I’d tweak to make it function even better.

AVERY’S PLAN REVIEW 🏡
OK I LOOOOOVE this plan.
Lately I’ve had A LOT more clients say, “I want semi open, but I don’t want totally open.” History always repeats itself. Don’t forget that. 😂
This plan absolutely nails that balance, and it’s just under 1,700 square feet.
What I LOVE:
• A true foyer instead of walking straight into the great room
• Primary suite in its own wing with the kids/guest rooms separate
• Kitchen, dining and great room still connect, but each space feels defined
• Covered patio with really smart door placement
• GREAT garage entry with benches, lockers, a catch all desk and separate laundry
• If I’m an empty nester, one bedroom is the guest room and the other is absolutely my office
What I’d change:
• If we’re on a crawlspace, I’d use the basement stair area for a larger pantry and mechanical closet
• Grow the garage. You know I’m not building a two car garage smaller than 24' x 24'. Basically a sin. 😂
• I’m keeping the tub because I’m a tub girl. If you’re not, lose it and grow the vanity. Win win.
Past that, I LOVE it.
This is such a good example of why square footage isn’t everything. Good design matters.
