  I just happen to find your site through some back link info. Of which I listen to the audio. Two things, you mention IE3 instead of IE8 at the 30 minute mark, second the Acid 3 test is passable but it depends on how deeply configured your computer is. If you read up on my article about this, http://saint-michael.trap17.com/blog/2009/04/internet-explorer-8-acid-test-3-passable/, its passable even though it is a low score of 20.

  The opportunity to build yourself a new home can be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime chance, so it is important to
  understand the process needed to borrow money to do so through the VA Home Loan Guaranty Program.

  Once your construction is completed, everything will be
  rolled into a traditional mortgage at a lower interest
  rate. Or the customer is sold on a higher rate during construction with a float down option after
  the home is built.
