5. Why so much wood for the stair case? Also, thought this giant curly LVL in the middle picture was neat! Barry said it
was special made for the project. This is going to be a great house! I especially like the turret at the top.
6. BERKELEY PLAN
• BRASSFIELD PROJECT IN BRENTWOOD, TN
• Not too much to see here. I ran into Barry out
there and asked him what the black on the
foundation was for and he told me it is weather
proofing. Good to know!
7. It looks to me like they changed everything about this. Its very confusing to me. I’m not real sure what I’m looking at
honestly.

8. FAIRVIEW PLAN
• ROLPH PROJECT IN LEBANON, TN
• What a beautiful place to build your dream
home!
9. They switched the shower
and tub. They got rid of
the formal dining room.
Morning room is now
casual dining. They
changed the
configuration of the stairs.
The garage and porch are
also different. The porch
appears to be bigger.
11. Love the open second floor and
open stairs, although, I must
admit it was terrifying to walk
across without the railing there!
12. Looks like this master bath
is going to be very nice.
What is the purple and
orange in the shower for?
Also, I like this tile but I was
informed by the tile guy on
site that apparently it is the
wrong tile. What happened
there and how could
something like that be
avoided in the future?
13. Talk about a view! Not too shabby to have views of the lake
out of almost every window. Nice touch, Rolph family!
14. BELMONT PLAN
• OUR NEW MODEL LOCATED IN GALLATIN, TN
• Why do the footers resemble tombstones? Any
reason they are in this specific formation?
• What is in the box in the bottom picture? What
purpose does this serve?
15. I had a hard time
finding a floor
plan that was
labeled for the
final. It appears
to me there are
no changes
except for the
absence of the
optional second
floor.
16. CUSTOM PLAN
• MERCER PROJECT IN HENDERSONVILLE, TN
• Unable to locate PFP for this project
17. I am loving the tile Mr.
Mercer picked out! The
backsplash specifically is
one of my favorites I’ve
ever seen.
18. What is this detail under the counters called? It’s
very interesting.
19. What an absolutely epic man cave
area/zombie apocalypse room! Mr.
Mercer told me that he will protect
me when it all goes down. He
explained to me how he plans on
storing all of his guns in the secret
room. I also asked him about the
wine room and if he has an
extensive wine collection. He
informed me he doesn’t have one
yet but he intends on having one
sometime very soon! The
“bookcase” door is a nice touch I
thought. I would have never
guessed it was a door! He told me
it will be remote control, although,
that feature wasn’t working yet
when I was there.
20. Another home with a
beautiful view! I had the
pleasure of spending
some quality time with
Mr. Mercer. He shared
with me that he grew up
in the house next door
and that his parents had
actually purchased this
lot back when they were
living. He told me about
how his bedroom had
this wonderful view when
he was a boy although he
didn’t appreciate it as a
child. This house is going
to be such a full circle
moment for him. I’m
grateful to have met him
and heard his wonderful
story!
