Mark,

We are hiring our own private consultant/inspector. Yes thats the ONLY way to

go! We have seen how some " inspectors " inspect. Our guy knows HOW to install

windows so they don't leak. Our inspector met with our new builder and our

inspector REALLY liked how this builder builds homes. He said this builder is

one of the best he has seen... So maybe $165 per sq ft is fair? It just seems

like a lot of money for Minnesota.

Barb,

Are you saying the basement would be 1/2 sq ft of the $165 per sq ft? Cuz

many people say we can finish off basement for 1/2 of what this new builder says

it will cost?

Thanks guys
