5. It was with our house.

Our house is very different but it was not that that won it for him, it was his craftmanship. I swear he and the three that worked with him were amazing. I moved out here on the farm and lived in a tiny room in my barn so I could be here and I saw every nail that went into it. I must have driven them crazy. They were an amazing crew and we hashed out every tiny thing so I am very happy and they were able to work with confidence that it was not only right but what we wanted.

It was REALLY funny when he won. All the local big shot contractors who build many houses a year did not even know who he was. They do now!

From what I hear you are correct, it is rare. It makes it a fun project if they are like that.
