We're waiting for a full year of the freeze/thaw cycle for the ground to settle before spending any money on it.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

There's no gravel, it's just dirt with stones in it. I can't be bothered, it'll be under 8 inches of topsoil."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Nice house!!
Actually several things are the same as mine (built 10 years ago with a different builder-- but maybe some of the subcontractors are the same or the choices were timeless!)
Things I noticed that were identical
Kitchen Granite
kitchen cabinets even down to the glass fronted cabinet-- but handles were different
Bathroom cabinets including medicine chests
shower enclosure (I think they are pretty standard
think we have the same brand washer-dryer set
Carpet colors were close but not matching
Overall great looking house-- Jealouse of the TVs and tech infrastructure
Oh and LMAO st the blinds thing-- In the picture you can even see the control strings but if the idea of you parading naked suited someones's homoerotic fantasies, so be itYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

I don't know if you remember the subs, but we went to Granite Gallery for the granite (Silver Pearl is the specific stone) and Bjornson Designs for the cabinets ("Shaker style"). The shower enclosure came from Home Solutions.
I'm very pleased to hear it's similar to what you've done -- we must've been thinking straight.
The builder is actually going to come take some photos of our kitchen next week to be included on their website as part of a customer testimonial."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

We matched ours with a very dark hardwood floor which looks awesome when clean but which shows up every crumb my two little anklebiters drop.
Great that your builder is proud of their job and also great that you are so happy that you are willing to give a customer testomonialYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
