We are building!!!


Our lot is about a third of an acre!!
So. this is it. It's in the beginning stages, but this is where our future home will sit. After looking with a realtor for houses one night, we decided to look into building. I have never wanted to build because of the hassles I have heard from friends and family. I didn't want to have to buy land first, and then find someone to build the house for us. Well, some friends of ours(who happen to also be band parents)own a construction company. I was talking with the wife at Jason's last concert and she mention that her husband, Jared, had a sub-division in Nibley that we could possibly build in. We were excited but hesitant because we weren't sure if we could get the kind of house we want in the price range we wanted to stay in . We met with Jared a few days later and he told us that because of the economy the way it is, that he is building at cost right now to keep his guys busy and to stay out of the red. This company mainly does comercial construction, but he had to go back to building houses to when the economy did what it did last year. We discovered that it was cheaper to build then to buy new at this point in time. We are so excited. We signed contract last week and they should start digging by the end of the week. I will be adding more pics as progress happens. Oh, did I mention that he said he could have the house done in 90 days. Yup, that's the end of July!!!!! We can't wait to have a place we can call our own.
