Walls.
As the walls began to go up we really started the see the house become our home.
Even though our home only had external wall... and it was very airy... it was becoming our home.
I made a plan to do a FRAMING party at the end of the summer. I will make sure the husband, kids and I make our way to the property to write thoughtful comments, biblical words and such.
I am expecting to receive my selections in the upcoming weeks. If you remember, I met with the design studio and choose everything inside the house. As fun as this was they are working up numbers and proposals. So once they determine prices they will send them over and I will approve if the gold plated faucet for $5,000 was really worth it. (JOKES!)
With a custom build that is the difference, EVERYTHING is a cost. You get to walk through like a kid in a candy store, but if you decide on anything you will be charged an upgrade. When we worked up the original loan we had two choices. One we could have added a buffer and included it into the loan and each upgrade would have come out of it. Or we could pay each time we upgrade. I personally decided to keep my money in the bank, and we write a check with each upgrade. I am unsure which would be the right decision, but I didn't want to finance my upgrades and had the money to set it aside.
