I agree with Kim! This is going to be too awesome of a build thread for it to be chopped up by time. There's always something to share!!! We all learn from the whole of it.
And as far as a 'story' goes..... You obviously have a great knack for story telling!
Hang around, you might enjoy it!

LOVE the water wall!
Not sure if the top sprays are a design element added by the companies or a something you requested, but I thought I would throw out my two cents on them. I love them and from a design standpoint they look nice. In reality, they are REALLY loud. I now wish I had scrapped them from our build. We never turn ours on, and we wouldn't have the holes and fittings to look at in our walls.
Any updates on your build?
I also live in Kingwood (Kingwood Greens) and my PB agreed to a 10% punch list hold back which still has not been paid yet. Not due to him but the City of Houston which took forever to complete the storm water retention requirements and then the final approval of the design. We signed the contract in January and it took 4-5 months just to get the City of Houston to give us our storm water letter so the calculations could even be performed. Until we got the City of Houston approval the PB could not start.
I saw your list and all very good questions but I would have a couple of more requirements on whoever you select. First, he will use subcontractors so ensure there is a release of lien in case the PB does not pay them. I also drafted an addendum to my contract which provided that my PB would represent and warrant that he would pay all subcontractors on a timely basis and that in the event a subcontractor filed a lien he would indemnify me. I also included a provision where I had to be provided with a certificate of insurance naming my wife and me as named additional insureds in a specified amount in the event of property damage or injury. The addendum also provided that work could not begin until I received the policy certificate which he provided.

Just 300 feet over 15,000? Is it worth getting a new survey? Trust me if you can avoid the City of Houston stormwater group you will want to at all costs.
Beautiful design and GREAT QUESTIONS!! We are beginning the process and I'll definitely be using these. Looking forward to watching your progress!Blessing, Denise
So Plat, any updates on your build???
