Well sort of. I'm actually paying someone else to build it...and it's a townhouse. Ok, fine, it's a stacked townhouse. But whatever...my wife and I have been in our apartment for 6 years and it was time to find a real place of our own.
After about 2 months of looking at "previously appreciated" townhouses we found a new townhouse community that we really liked. Sure it's adding about 20 miles of traffic to my commute but we can't wait.
So, here is the floorplan. The pics shows two floorplans, the grayed out portion is the house below us, we're on top:

Here are pics of the model home. We are ona reversed floorplan so our actual home will be mirrored.
I'm keeping a blog of the progress and all the pics are stored on my flickr account.
We bought the townhouse on April 4th and had to wait about a month for them to sell 3 more units, they would not start construction until 60% of the building was sold. They began construction on the 28th, this past Saturday I was onsite taking pics of the footers.
Here is the lot for the whole building, taken from the back.

So we're all jazzed. It was awesome getting to pick out all the stuff in the house and we got some really cool stuff.
I'll keep this thread updated as progress is made.
