Hello again. Time for another update/download.
Well the builder is at least a month late.
The exterior of the house is well done. The back patio is being built as we speak. The landscaping, driveway, etc. won't be done until spring.
What have I learned in the past 10 months?
- A 100% custom home is a big pain in the A$$
- If DW and I can get through this, we can conquor anything.
- No matter what you think, when buiding a house you will definately go over budget by at least 20%
- I thought I had good design sense. But trust the experts. Let them design.
Those are just some quick thoughts.
We are dying to get into the house now. Things are getting stressful here at the rental.
Holidays, close quarters, kids, activities, driving to and from school (we are renting out of our school district)...whew!!
Drywall is up. Paint colors picked. Flooring 80% done. We're coming down the home stretch.
It's been fun, challenging, stressful, humbling, educational...and there's more to come.
I'll post a video soon.
Thanks everyone.
