[Oren L Miller]

We are building a Begonia right now closing 1-23-12

We extended the lanai 4 feet
We are having a Roman Shower in the masterbedroom
We substituted a walk-in shower for the bath in the guest bathroom - This required moving the wall 2 feet but was well well worth it. Both extra bedrooms gain from this and the vanity in that bath gets extened an extra foot and a half because they only needed 6 more inches to take the tub out and add the shower. It didn't cost that much to really increase the size of three rooms.
We tiled floors in a diagonal pattern through the whole house
We went with Zodiac - Granite Counters in kitchen and all bathrooms We elected to do it pre - construction due to worries of how much mess and possible damage they might do to bathroom walls in the process.
I would consider adding the golf cart garage. It was one of our main reasons for going with the begonia.

I agree with your thinking and wish you well in your thought process. I hope you get moved in soon. I'm looking forward to meeting you in paradise.
