According to Plan - House Day

It has been an adventurous couple of days with the house arriving yesterday afternoon and being set  today. The kids and I actually caught up with the house and the house escort as they travelled down the highway towards the house yesterday afternoon. We were speechless and filled with glee as the house came into view, on wheels. There were blinking lights and flags to escort the house, so it was not hard to miss it coming down the highway. As we followed the house towards our property, our excitement grew to finally see the house with our own eyes.

House Chasing

The workers got started when the sun came up, getting the crane in place and hooking the house up to be hoisted up and set on the basement.

The process for our second home differs from our first house in that we're using a Builder to coordinate the majority of the house construction process. With our first home, we served as the sole Builder and had to schedule, coordinate, and sometimes even fill in for varying aspects of the process when necessary. While serving a your own "owner-builder" can save the homeowner a tremendous amount of money by cutting out the "middle man", the homeowner gets the headache that comes with the job of being overseer and project lead. There are no words to describe how grateful I am to have a Builder this time around as an overseer and coordinator. We are still responsible for portions of the overall process, but nothing nearly as large as the projects we had to fulfill in our first home. With a Builder that works on site to oversee the construction and the Master Builder guiding, leading, and providing for our needs, we are in Good Hands.
