Well, the $3500 is mainly for the structural changes necessary (the fireplace doesn't come into the room - the room juts out on the outside to accommodate the fireplace) and the mantel.
I dunno, I'm starting the whole upgrades path, and I'm starting to get scared about how much this is going to cost me. It's a little irritating, knowing that if I could just hold off and buy from inventory instead, I'd get this stuff for free. If there is any inventory. Are these not selling because the market is slowing, or are these not selling simply because it's the end of November, and who the hells looks for a house during the Christmas season?
If I could be sure that they would build the model I want I'd wait until January, at least. The salesperson told me what models they were planning to put in before I told her what one I was interested in, though, so I believe that they won't be building the one I want.
10" isn't an option on this home. And the 9" are a extra $6300. I'll probably go with the Vaulted ceiling in the family room, so the extra space is there, since that's only a quarter of the price.
But the next thing you know, I've added $10,000 to the price of the house. And this all has to be paid for first. I want it nice, but I want to be able to eat, too. *g*
