Wow, all of a sudden things have taken off in the home building. The first part of the process, the foundation, framing, heating and electrical seem to take FOREVER to get done, especially in our case as we had to put the house on hold for awhile while we tried to sell our other house. Even after we moved down here and moved ahead, it still seemed to take forever and it appeared nothing was happening.
THEN we sheetrocked. After that things started hopping. We are halfway finished painting, the finish carpentry is almost done, the front of the house is being rocked and they will start the stucco on Friday. Now it’s non-stop decision making. Colors, styles, what kind of shelves, how do I want the pantry and the master closet? Lots of stress and lots of running around, and consulting with the various workers.
It has been fun to watch the finish carpentry getting done. It looks so good and has gone so fast. I am amazed by it all. But it’s the first time I have been able to see it happen. In our last two builds, we did our own finish carpentry and it took forever, didn’t look as good and in some places in the houses, never got done. I’m glad I insisted that we hire finish carpenters.
We are hoping to be in by mid-Oct.
