VIDEO & BOOK ARE

THIS VIDEO & BOOK IS ALSO FOR SALE!  WE HAVE SOLD HUNDREDS OF THEM!
READ THE INFORMATION BELOW FOR ALL THE DETAILS!

This video is nearly 2 1/2 hours long and takes you from lot acquisition through lighting & flooring.   We have sold several hundred copies here in Michigan and dozens to other states.   The video was produced to give the viewer an easy to understand approach of how a home is contracted.  The video itself shows all the necessary aspects of a New Home being built.  This video is not intended to teach you how to be a carpenter, plumber, electrician, etc.  This video IS intended to help you make as many qualified decisions as you possibly can regarding the construction of your new home.  Whether you are building "Your New House" or you are having a builder build it for you, the importance of knowing what you want before it is done is paramount.  One example would be the height of the basement.  Do you want to build the basement higher than normal, which is 7' 10", or do you want to pour it at 9', or do you want to put 1 or 2 courses of block on it?  Many people think that a basement wall  7'10" (a standard in Michigan) is truly 7'10" high when the house is finished.  This is not a true.  When the basement people tell you a basement is 7'10"  their measurement is from the top of the basement wall to the top of the footing.  Four inches of concrete still needs to be poured in the basement floor, so therefore you end up with 7'6" of basement height and that does not account for a standard beam of 8" or 10" supporting your floors.  If you have a 10" beam the real height from the concrete to the underside of the beam is 6' 10".  If you are looking for a video which will give you a STRAIGHT FORWARD point of view, this is it.

The book on the other hand is a compliment to the video.  It enhances the knowledge base of the video.  It is presently 63 pages in length and has pricing sheets, additional tips, ideas, color selection sheets and many helpful ideas.

If you are building with a builder this is an excellent tool to help stay in stride with the builder.  This way your decisions can be made prior to the builder asking you about decisions which need to be made.

Being a builder myself, this video is intended to be informationally helpful for both parties.  I happen to love what I do and this information is for both builder & owner builder to have a great time building a home.  Building a new house can be exciting, fun & rewarding.  But it needs a diligent approach to be successful.  

To Purchase the Video & Book & Pricing Sheets just call 1 800 209-9992 and we will accept your VISA or MasterCard, or send a check for $79.95 to "Your New House" Building Company, P.O. Box 6200, Plymouth, Mich. 48170.  Add $5.00 for shipping & handling. Add an additional $10.00 for 2 day delivery.
