Remember Admiral Yamamotos response to their attack on Pearl Harbor?

I'm betting concrete is already done by now. I'm stopping by every day when I can. Trying to shake hands with all the guys I can. Just seems like the right thing to do since they are doing the work to get me my new home. This is the second home we've built... Unfortunately budget kept us from building the house we really wanted but the next house, whenever that is, will be exactly what we want. These guys move pretty quick So I should have the majority of the walls up by end of week.

If I do get a chance to build a shop, I'll have a house built next to it.

We only did one walkthrough with the builder after the build process started and that was at mid build. We got together to make sure all the outlets and A/V ports were correct before they sprayed the foam insulation, what we wanted for shelving/hanging rods in the closets and cupboard design/layout.

If you're in the market for advice... Get a cheapo ice chest and fill it with water or Gatorade every day. The workers will take care of the people that take care of them. Leave a watermelon, have your wife bake them a cake or pie, anything to give them a special treat every chance you get. I did this due to someone else telling me how well it worked out for them and it pays off big time to have them on your side if you want or need anything. I got my garage sheet rock (walls and overhead) finished and painted at no additional cost just by telling the lead guy one day I'd like to do this.... and his crew did it no questions asked.
