The Plans!


I'm not sure if many of you know this but we are in the planning stages of building a house! We just got our plans in the mail yesterday and we are super excited! Now we have to work on getting price quotes from companies and narrow down our search on land lots then submit it all to the bank for our land/construction loan! Once that gets approved, the hard part will start. :-) We are hoping to do a lot of the work ourselves (with lots of help from family!) and just contract out those things we can't do. Jer and I have been trying to narrow down our preferences now, so we wont fight about them later when the project gets more stressful. So far so good. we like a lot of the same styles and what we differ on, we compromise. I'm hoping this will just be the first of many blog posts I'll be writing on this subject! Wish us luck!? We are excited, scared, inexperienced and hopeful! This is something we talked about for more than 8 years. It never looked like it would be a possibility until now. I think it took us looking for house after house to buy and coming up disappointed to realize this would be our best option. :-)
