That damn bank is almost done. It is huge and it has stolen all the local workers with their fat cat money. It is maddening how fast a brick building is going up, and I just want everyone to finish my little rectangle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted March 5, 2021 Share #163 Posted March 5, 2021 That IS a nice spot. And fun when the truss truck shows up and suddenly a bunch of progress is made. Very exciting! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so hard to get excited before I saw structure. It didn't feel real until about last week when the roof started coming together. Now that I am can really see it, I like it even more, The roof line is so cool. I love the idea of a covered porch for sitting out and watching the view and the deer eating all my tulips. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share #168 Posted March 9, 2021 @Airehead Wanna know what I REALLY excited about? There is no tile in my home. The surfaces are all easy to clean. The tub and shower inserts are one piece fiberglass. They will be a dream to keep clean. Also, no wood floors, LVP instead. I can just wet mop the floor and not fret. Wood floors seem tedious to clean. Trying to make my life a bit easier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or so I assume. I ean they have worked on our stuff on a regular basis, but my crew was small. The bank has a significant crew. Maybe I should just not worry about it, because I am getting a very good price for this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite small compared to most homes around here. 1152 sq ft. home. It might look a bit smaller when the sheetrock goes up. Loads of people said "why so small if you are going to do a custom home?" I said it is all we really need. There is a shortage of homes here, so we are opening up one for a new family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 24, 2021 Share #179 Posted March 24, 2021 The outside pics are really fun, but the pics showing the view looking out from inside the frame are really exciting!!! Such a great view and it really seems homey when you are looking out the window frames. I'm so excited for you! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after the well, septic and permits were all pulled. It did not feel real. Then the trusses went on, and I was like "OK, this is really happening."
