Good Sledding so Far 12.30.06
One of my close friends (Corey Benedict) is the owner of Benedict and Associates and is going to be our General Contractor on this project. He's focused his business on build "high performance homes" or in other words as energy efficient and green friendly as people are willing to let him build. As well this past spring his model home on the Western Wisconsin Tour of homes won the award for quality home builder.
This past spring when we started talking with Corey about building a MoCo home he mentioned we should meet with an architect name Michael Huber (http://www.mhuberarchitects.com). Corey thought highly of him and felt he would be a great fit for some of the ideas we had talked about. Prior to meeting him we saw an episode of the HGTV show "What's with that house" that featured Michael's own home. We both liked what we saw and heard and when we met him in early June we that this was going to be great fit.
Since we settled on our lot in August we've been having regular meeting with Michael to begin the really neat stage of designing a custom home. I think what we have liked most about Michael is that not only does he bring a level of creativity to the table but he also collaborates with Stacy and I and that is important as we both have lots of ideas and opinions.

I'm glad that you had a great contractor relationship with Michael. I also had the same experience, not to him, but with TopNotch House Construction in the Philippines. They are really great and I am now enjoying my own dream house.
