We do! Fortunately, our lot is fairly flat, so there is not a great deal of block work to be done to lay the foundation. Our lot does slope to the back left corner and this is where they will put the access-way for the crawlspace. They are expecting to lay 9 courses of block at the highest point. That will be about 5 1/2 feet of head-room in the crawlspace...more than enough room to store the lawn mower, leaf blower etc. This is huge because we opted to not dig out the crawlspace for a basement hoping that the lot sloped enough to give us some storage area under the house.
With all that area under the house, the builder is talking about hanging the 1st floor heating / AC unit from the floor joists...I'll need to do some checking on this. The prime spot for this will be directly below our bedroom! I surely don't want to be awakened each and every time the heater blower or AC compressor comes on!
We have some time to research, but just something else to think about.
Here's a picture of the block scattered about the lot.
