Welcome to our rollercoaster ride of house building! We're your hosts, Josh and Carolyn, and this week we're giving you an all-access, behind-the-scenes look at our personal home construction project. Picture this: we're knee-deep in framing, installing a gigantic vinyl slider, coordinating trades, and making countless critical decisions. Hear about the time we almost made a blunder, missing two anchor bolts, and how luck came into play. And yes, we managed to stay under budget on our lumber, despite the changes we made!

Ever wondered about the tiny, yet crucial details that go into building a home? We're breaking it down for you. From ensuring the roof was dried in to prevent rain damage, to the challenge of getting the trunk lines to the right side of the house - we've got stories to share. We'll also reveal how we juggled the push and pull of designing a home and the importance of coordinating trades, walking the job twice a day, and double-checking every single proposal. Plus, we'll share why we chose white oak stair treads and the role of inspection in home building. Buckle up; it's going to be a thrilling ride!
