Home sweet future home...

Well we've embarked on the new adventure of building our next house.  Early this year, we decided to see what was out there on the market that had more space for our family and mounds of toys! As we looked, we couldn't find what we were looking for in our price range and looked into building. After running some numbers and talking with a couple builders, we decided it would be affordable for us to go ahead and build. We spent quite a bit of time trying to find a lot, which was quite the task.  But we ended up finding a great family neighborhood with a basement lot.  Construction began late September and have been enjoying the process so far.  It has been fun but also a little, well no I take that back, A LOT, scary.  We are hoping that our vision comes together for where we will call home for a very LONG time. We've been going out to see the progress on a weekly basis and wanted to take pictures to document it all step by step.  Here it is so far.....
