Better than supporting 5 kids, half of witch that aren't mine.
Seruiously though you must be doing pretty well for this year to be in the market for that Vette. I'd be interested to see what it does stock. (With a good driver naturally.)

We are starting with this one, and making a few changes. Side-load 4 car garage, slightly larger gameroom with a divider wall added for a media room in the back, larger closet in the master, bigger covered patio area.

Wish I would have seen this sooner. If PIB don't do you RIGHT, you've GOT to talk to Zac. www.zacmurthahomes.com
My experience has been you are always better off with a custom builder (smaller op, but not TOO small). I've owned Villiage Builders, Coventry, and a Zac Murtha home. No contest. Zac all the way.

I do some mortgages for new David Weekley homes and from what I've seen, their homes are high quality with a lot of flexibility as far as layout and space usage. If you need a good deal on yours, let me know. I can do the interim (construction) financing as well as the final.
Good luck!

David weekley built my house they did a "o.k." job but I went through two supers. One of them was fired in the middle of my house. But all in all I think they suck. They do o.k. on smaller houses that are the cookie cutter type but I dont think they are a "custom home builder". I guess it depends on what kind of house you are getting them to build . Mine was custom all the way down to the door ***** and they had hell with it. Just don't get in the middle of it and have your builder say I've never built a house this big before
or your stupid for spending $40,000.00 on cabinets....Good luck..
