    I appreciate that but far from it. I'll stick to my antler chandeliers and ranch managing job!

    Tape and bed went well today. Was nice seeing progress and not having to do any of the work! With not much to do myself this week I will hopefully get a little hunting in some evenings.

        Had the septic tanks pumped out today and checked in on the tape and bedding. Looking good so far!

          No pics of the septic tank?[emoji23] Do you think the field lines are ok?

            Septic guy said tanks were from last 10 yrs. We purchased the property 5 yrs ago and a family of 5 lived in a trailer home here. Based on his evaluation of what he could see he said they should be good. For $400 it's worth waiting and seeing.

I'll post pics in a touch of my home form. Individual home is 1700 SQ/FT and took 9 months. This one is significantly littler so ideally go speedily.
              Sounds good!

                        I seen this house this past weekend. It looks great. Trying to talk him into building one for me when I can get more land.

                            Texture is complete. A/C is supposedly going in today. Ended up $6k for Central Heat/Air. Little more than planned but saved in other areas so good.

                            Also spent $6200 on all remaining appliances (Fridge, W/D, Water heater, Oven, Microwave, Dishwasher), interior doors, vanities, cabinets, toilets, fixtures and faucets. I will need to add up everything but looking like $36-$38k finished out.

                              I'm getting excited for the final phases.

                              Curious as this is your second one, do you see yourself doing this again?

                                I can see myself building another one. I'm currently trying to close on 30 acres across from my 88 acres now. If I can get it then I will build us a new home on it. Already has electricity and water on site so huge advantage there. Just waiting to hear back from landowner if she will sell the remaining acreage to me.

                                A/C is just about done. Everything is looking good. Will update pics later this afternoon.
