We planned our wedding while we built a house......and we still got married LOL!!
(Sorry, I didn't take the time to dig out an old wedding photo)
My father-in-law was our Contractor and we spent almost every evening and weekend on the property. Since a relative was our contractor we did almost every bit of the grunt work. The only things that were sub'd out were the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and brickwork.
WE'RE STILL IN THAT HOUSE August 2022, 2 kids and multiple furry babies later. Now Sarah is 25 and Josh will turn 19 this month. It's been a great house! It is only about 1900 SqFt heated/cooled and sits on a 1/2 Acre Lot. We were one of the first handful of residents in the neighborhood and now there's not an empty lot.
In 2015 the woods behind us was developed and houses went up. Their backyards don't line up to ours so we have 3 backyard neighbors and 1 on each side.....that's 5 adjoining neighbors on a 1/2 Acre Lot. That helped push us to start looking for land.
