Top 10 Things to Look Foward to When Building A House

As I proof read my last post I became inspired to post The Top 10 Things to Look Foward to When Building A House....

1) Random strangers driving by at one mile an hour breaking their neck to see what you are doing

2) Little old men stopping to say "What are y'all doing, are ya building something"? (Nope why do you ask?)
 
3). Having to hear from every person entering your home "That's going to be a big house, you'd better get ready to pay that high power bill?"

4) Explaining the floor plan for the seventy fifth time to the same person.

5) Hearing the words "I'll have it ready for you first the morning" and 7 mornings later you still haven't seen or heard anything.

6) Hearing someone whisper to their spouse "That's ugly I don't like that" After you have just shown them samples of what you will be putting on/in your house

7) Responding "Because its MY house and I want it that way" to everyone who says......"Why are you doing that"?

8) People you don't really know showing up unannounced at your construction site wanting to walk through your house

9) Those same people pulling up at your current residence (after not being able to find you at the work in progress) and laying on the car horn until you come out and give them all of the details.



 The last one is probably just in our case since we began to tear stuff out right around the end of April 2011
Drum roll Please................


10)  People asking "Did the tornader's get your house"? (Why yes, yes they did, in fact we are the only ones in the Clay County who got hit and the "tornaders" were kind enough to leave this giant stack of lumber here for us to fix it with)



Note -  I realize I am technically remodeling a house but you've seen the pictures, who are we kidding)?
