I am very amused with Clarendon - I got a house and land package with them. My land has not settled (we were just informed that the land was registered…

k3nnis, what colours are your trims and ceiling? I assume the pics above show your walls with winter ice?

Hi Steve, I was in your shoes and I opted to go with Clarendon, because the land I wanted was being sold by them.
I must say that while Clarendon…
