How it started!! We purchased our land in February 2021, and started the process of building our forever home in March 2022! Why are we building a custom house instead of buying a house or building in a production neighborhood? Well, we wanted this to be our forever home, and the only way to have what you really want is to create it, so that's what we're doing. We also wanted a big yard with lots of space. Building ended up being a better value for us than paying market rate for a home that didn't have everything we were looking for. We had an architect create our blueprints from ideas we had sketched on notebook paper, hired a custom builder, and then secured a construction loan to build this house.
