New construction (my house)

thought I'd post some pics along the way showing our new home construction.

We bought the lot a bit over a year ago. Had the plans made from an example we found on the internet. Great experience working on drawings instead of buying already made or a cookie cutter home.

@Tim Davids  I'd be interested to hear the builder's side of the story. That looks like it was a big project and he did what you asked (even doing some things a few times). If his work was so bad, you should have fired him... but you didn't. The fact that he "...made very little money on this project." is a tragedy for him yet you sound almost gleeful over this. 

Perhaps I'm misjudging your attitude; it's hard to be sure with writing sometimes. If so, I apologize. But I often read of people boasting about "getting something for nothing" and it always rubs me wrong.
