[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 110288, member: 843"] Lots of good stuff, thanks guys! I hear you all on a basement. College house was ranch with finished basement (in Grand Forks, and needed working sump to keep dry), First house was a split level with a walk out, and current house is a ranch with a fully finished 8' basement. If given the choice I think we would build a ranch with walkout with 9' ceilings. However that limits the lots and neighborhoods available. A few developments south of Bismarck do not allow them (water). We are just looking for a lot now and wouldn't build for 2-4 years, however I am trying to keep the final price in mind before we buy a lot and realize that we will need $30k in dirt and pay an additional $50k+ to get the finished sq.ft. we will need with a slab foundation house. If it is an additional $80k , I want to make sure we factor that into the price we are willing to spend on the lot.
