Keeping a Building Binder

Throughout this building journey, I’ve kept pretty clear and regular notes. In a composition notebook, there are entries of the date and whom we spoke or worked with and what was said.

There have already been times I’ve looked back because we may not have remembered something the builder said, or I was curious how long another thing took to finish. The binder contains all the builder’s receipts that the bank forwards to us for each draw.

There is also a general building timeline I found here.

Also a pamphlet of one of our builders previous homes to keep as a reference for some of the same materials or finishes used.

House Progress

Family-wise, same stuff going on with school, work, kids activities. Lots of work with the house happening. We have most of our roof completed and windows installed. The kids are enjoying running around inside and I can just imagine their play from room to room when we are finally in.

February is Here

Most of the kids were interested in the big game, but it didn't go our way:

My measly attempt at Valentine's Day decor. Not much to do when so much is packed in boxes.

And look at this! Time to roof this thing.
