Thank's guy's, most of the designing on the outside was mostly the wife's idea. It also help's to have relatives in the business. The foundation is the most important thing to getting these mod homes to sit level. It should be checked and rechecked several times because once you set it it's done unless you don't mind paying a 6k dollar a day crane charge.

My neighbors have a 28x48 and i must say it looks nothing like yours!!! nice job bro!!. Thiers has freezing/breaking water pipes every winter, skylight in bathroom leaks, under the siding is nothing but OSB no wrap nothing. Walls are not drywall they are fiber board 1/4" thick and plastice toliet,tub, furnace is made by coleman, appliances are no name i ever heard. The cabinets are a joke at best made from wood sticky paper and plastic, cardboard window trim.......They paid well over 60 k for this place and i was not impressed. Your home is impressive so i am sending them that pic and watch em squrim......
