Just found your blog! Welcome to Blog Land for New Homeowners! We built a Rome in Maryland. Feel free to join our blog at ricknadase.blogspot.com I also have instructions to add the followers button so others can follow your journey. Just be sure to choose followers. It also helps to turn off the word verification button because it forces bloggers to decipher a weird word pattern before they can leave comments. Ugghh Thank you in advance.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BUILDING!
Thank you. I have viewed your blog in the past and I am now a follower. :)
DeleteLooking good! Not sure where you are in the process, but for us - the most exciting part (so far) has been framing and rough trades! It's really starting to look like a home. :-) Good luck with your build!
ReplyDeleteThank You! We are really excited for the framing to start. Our kids are supper excited already and will not know what to think once it actually starts to look more like a house.
DeleteHow is the progress coming along?
