Frustration Begins AGAIN...
I know people have told us that building a house is really hard. I knew that going into it. I told my husband I didn't think I was up for it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, they say. Well, the hardest thing to deal with is being at a standstill, knowing there is so much to do and not being able to do anything. Probably a lesson I'm supposed to learn in there. We made it through the wiring, and now it's the siding, painting and staining. Our vacation starts this weekend and we have nothing to paint. There's siding to stain, but it's way too small. Steven got a good deal on 6' pieces of clear cedar siding. Now he's learning what it is going to take to install and he wants no part of it. So, will we have siding to stain come this weekend? Will we have walls to paint come this weekend? Argghhh!

Happens to everyone. Hurry up and wait. Our builder promised us a beautiful house in five months (from groundbreaking) and he delivered in 12. Our critical path was disrupted before the wallboard went up by the electrician who blew off our job for a flood of business that came his way after the storms of last december. Happens to everyone. Be smart: be good to eachother and avoid taking it out on your partner.

We be good! We've been through too much over the years to let a little house building destroy us. We did a major remodel on our house back east and my hubbie got really ill. It was a really rough road, but we got through it. So, it's off to house building, hoorah, hoorah!
