Don't I know it! You got all your misery out of the way up front I'm stretching mine out lol. Really like the siding style on the gable ends.

Very cool, Congrats!
We have been on a 5 year process of buying land and putting a shop and house on it. I can say I'm sure glad we are getting close.

Good luck! @Gerald Martin was 100% right—all of it takes longer and costs more than expected. Hope you get to move in soon.

Thank you!
We actually moved in in December, but I am still working on a lot of things that weren't really finished. We went with a manufactured home since I was getting burnt out on partially building the shop and all the water, power, septic, clearing, road work and the excavation/concrete for the foundation. I wish I would have did a thread on the whole process.
We are glad to be out of the 5th wheel for sure

This view out our windows north/south is a big part of what makes ours worth it. I would have loved to build a house similar to yours, (it is awesome)
) but I figured we are old enough this one will out last us . So I'm putting my efforts into finishing the shop and all the work around the house and shop
I bet your kids are loving it! I know the Grand kids love ours.

Yeah, but I doubt the neighbors would be too keen on it. Ha.

I can take some. It’s not the pretty stuff so I don’t have any photos on hand. Ha. We’re staying at my folks’ house nearby so when I go to our place tomorrow I’ll take some.

It will be to us. We’re coming from a two bed, one bath with a family of four.

Nice to wrap up a house build
It's a process.
My current house took me a year ...double shifting...keep making money in construction but also keep the new home on schedule. Think I took off a total of ten days that year. Pretty good burn out.
Then there is landscaping
Enjoy the new home. Like the open concept.
