Packer fan, sorry for your experience, we had the opposite experience. Our sales agent knew the style house we wanted, found a suitable lot, then we built the largest version of that house we could, hit the build lines in 2 opposing corners. We did try to have the house rotated 5 degrees to get the last stretch, but that was refused.
