    New house construction

    I have a thread that has been going for over a year now about buying raw land and clearing and adding improvements. Starting this thread today to follow the progress of the house. Today was the first day of construction beginning.

      Awesome. Been a lot of work done in the past year. Glad to hear y'all made it through Harvey ok. That's a beautiful home y'all decided on. Nice to see it finally getting underway. I'm thinking we are going to go the same route. Original plan was a Barndo, but I now know that it isn't just me that thinks they are much more expensive in this area than others. When I first got the bid for finishing the inside I thought the contractor had made a mistake and quoted me for the entire build. He said no mistake that's what it is.

        Yea, I think most of the savings in the barndo is people that do the work themselves finishing it out. I would love to do that, but don't have the time at this point in my life. I got finish out bids for 2100 Sqft of living area for $250-275K. The house is being built for much less and is larger. How does that make sense?

        We were staying with my parents for a few months when harvey hit. Their house didnt fair so well. We were lucky our RV was in sinton and was fine.

              Amber took the kids to portland and stopped by Amanda's on Tuesday for some trick or treating. Were good, just ridiculously busy like every one else. Need to get together for some BBQ one weekend when your off.

                          Didn't even know you went back offshore. We will obviously have to have everyone over when the house is done.
