Building a new house has been exciting and daunting all at the same time. It seems that of all the choices there are to put into a house, a few of those choices are challenging. I love pulling it all together and making a design puzzle "fit". The financial side of it all, is what is daunting, but in all that I say and believe these key words keep coming up. trust and faith. I have the money, its just making the money work for me and pay for itself, is my challenge.
So many people are happy for me and look forward to seeing the house grow step by step, or want to see the finished product. I have tried to take pictures along the way to have, and go by often enough to see progress, but not be in the way. The house changes all the time and I get little (good) surprises every time I go by. One night late after the gym, I went by and found a bathtub in my house. I have a new bathtub, I jumped up and down and said louder than I should........ " woo hoo, I have a new bathtub, woo hoo!" This week they have installed the sheetrock on the walls.
I have picked the tile and flooring and have in my mind what the walls should be. When I got home tonight a note from my builder, said he wanted to meet this week and talk cabinets. That is exciting. I need to watch for "great sales" on appliances, televisions, etc. so that the house doesn't have to be delayed, because of me. Also, I need 2 or 3 pieces of furniture, such as a sofa, queen bed, maybe a desk.....
The house really has come together fast, except for weather delays. Kim (builder) has been great about scheduling his people to keep work flow happening.
