I wanted to share with you guys a little bit more of my house. We got this house last November and it is what you would call a builder grade home. To start let me explain what builder grade means. Builder grade or contractor grade is defined as using low cost (inexpensive) materials instead of custom or high end materials. We do live in a master planned community and we love our community.
