that doesn't make too much sense to me because I wont be building until I own.. but If I don't get the plans/cost I cant really start to go through my circle of influence to pitch.. any ideas or suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated.So my plan for this week is to:-get the option to purchase registered-talk to the seller to get keys and the A.A form-?
