Been awhile OR Things I have learned while Building a House
- Building a House is not for sissies.
- The euphoria is equally matched with the devastation. (this may be overly dramatic)(or not)
- Choose your builder wisely.
- Get used to everything being more expensive and taking twice as long.
- Remember YOU will be living in this place. Not your builder, not the painter, not the electrician. YOU. This cannot be repeated often enough.
- Take time to sit in each room. Preferably alone and in silence.
- Not everything has to be done before you move in. But anything done by somebody else should.
- Put your money where it's important to YOU. (ie bathrooms are not my jam)
- If things take a bit longer toward the end? Remember a few days will NOT make a big difference in the Big Picture!
- Enjoy the journey!
