I had a 9:30 am meeting today with the homeowners association where I'm building my house for the first stage of a three stage process of getting your house approved to be built.

Of course, I've never been to something like that before, so I'm thinking it's going to be 3 or 4 hours or something. Nope... I was there a total of 5 minutes (I guess thats a good thing).

The good news is the first step (Concept Design Submittal) was approved, so now we can move on to the next phase of the review process (Design Development Submittal). I think that's things like landscape plans, artist renderings of the home, samples of the materials you are going to use, etc.
