After 2 wonderful years of living in our cute little rental house, at the end of summer we will be moving into our brand new, custom built home and we couldn’t be more excited about it! We decided that it would be fun to keep up with the progress of our house through our blog so that family and friends back home could see it and also we can later look back and see our first house coming together from start to finish!
We’re at the very beginning of the construction process; so basically we have just finished negotiating and haggling with the builders and we’ve signed the contract - it is now up to Kartcher Homes to buy the land, secure the permits and get their construction loan (which we’ve been told should all take about 3 weeks) and then they will break ground! Kartchner says from there, it will only take them about 90 days to actually build the house and then it is all ours!!!
There are a lot of little things that I am sooooo thrilled about; like a linen closet – yup, a whole closet dedicated just to linens!!, and also, we’re going to have more than one bathroom – 2.5 to be exact!!, and best of all, a dishwasher! No more dishwater hands! Woohoo! That being said, you can only imagine that I am dying of anticipation!
Half an acre of land to call our own! Sure, it doesn’t look like much now… in fact, I may have to admit that it is kinda scary looking, but it’s nothing a little hard work can’t fix!
This will be the view from our front windows!
This is probably the one area that needs the most work… the horrendous dirt road in front of the land. We can barely drive Jordan’s car down it, and it would be very tragic for us to build a house and not be able to drive to it, so we are definitely going to be putting some work into that!
