Oh, we're building the Taylor...House Details!

Hi all!

I don't know about you, but boy am I'm glad it's Friday!  This has been a stressful week trying to finalize all of our selections.  This process has been so overwhelming and I keep second guessing myself!  Why can't I just make up my mind?!?

One thing that did want to mention about Ryan Homes is that we have found them to be very accommodating when it comes to making custom changes to their floor plans.  They have been very flexible with our request and so far they have been able to accept all of our requests.

I thought I would detail our selections thus far in the process in the hopes that seeing our selections all in one place would help me with making our final choices.  We still have not had our final selection meeting yet so we still have time to make changes  :)  I don't know if that is good thing or a bad thing!  lol!

 Model:  Taylor 2808 Sq Ft Standard, just over 4,000 with additions:  Link to virtual tour:  http://www.ryanhomes.com/community/maryland/villages-of-urbana-traditional/taylor
