We could have saved $300k if we went with a cheaper builder... would have taken double the time and be built from far less quality materials and have a pretty lame level of finish. Get what you pay for, glad it worked out in the end! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab is also right 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
