Good luck! Have fun with your adventure!

By the way, since you are building, consider putting in the cheapest flooring possible unless you find materials the builder offers which you are completely happy with. Anything you replace with flooring you really like later may cost you less in the end. This is because the upgrades offered by the builder are more expensive than products offered by aftermarket contractors. There is a lot written about this in other threads.
Yes I have read that it may be better to add after we close. I also think that the selection could be wider. I know it will all fall into place, but I still have to do my due research!!!! Thanks so much.
