Hello again GJ members!
In 2013, my wife and I bought our first house, a 3200sf ranch with a 2 car garage and only 1600sf finished (3b 2 ba and only one living room area). I did my best to make the garage my own space, but it just never worked for what I wanted (more tools, and to be able to park my truck inside.) I made a Garage Gallery a year or two ago on it, but it was nothing special:

Fast Forward to 2017 and things have changed. Our son was born on 10/25/16 and the one guest bedroom became his. Our other bedroom was our office, and we suddenly ran out of room. We started discussing the idea of moving, but we wanted to build as we don't like having to clean up and fix the mistakes of previous home owners. We found a plot in a suburb that was closer to where we both work and chose our model from a semi-custom home builder with an ETA of 8-10 months. As luck would have it, in the same neighborhood they had just framed the exact model we wanted on a plot that was only slightly smaller. We instead chose this model with a finish date expected to be 2-3 months. The model with upgrades that we chose includes:
3100 Finished SF
2 Level Home w/finished basement
4 Car Garage (3 car with tandem bay)
4 Bed, 3.5 Bath
Granite and Hardwoods with upgraded Slate appliances
Large living room area on all three floors
Extra Large Master Suite
Here is how she sits now, with the concrete siding installed.
Open view of the garage:
Inside of the very deep and spacious "4th" bay:
Stand by for more updates and pictures as we progress.
