Taylor Creek (aka "The Dream")As some of you may know, I love a project. Before we left Birmingham, Andy and I were blessed to own a home. I love that home so much, and what was great about it was that I always had a project. More than likely Andy and I will only be in Charlotte 2 years so we are renting. And since this is not my home, I have no projects. So I got thinking....
It has been my dream since high school to build my own home. In fact halfway through nursing school I was going to quit and change my major to contracting because I wanted to build homes for a living. And you can see how that turned out... But it is still a dream. So Andy promised me that we could build a house one day. And God willing, it will be our next house. So this thought gave me even more ideas... What if I really researched this whole process and figured out how to save Andy and I a lot of money.
So, let the project begin! I have the next two years to figure out the best and cheapest(without cutting corners) to build a house. I am researching every single aspect from framing to flooring, drywall to doors, baseboards to bathrooms, plumbing to painting, and the list goes on...
Where do I start... I started with the dream house. I have been spending quite a bit of time digging through house plans, and there are A LOT. But I know that I love the Colonial/Federal look. So I narrowed my search. TA DA!! I found it. A home that both Andy and I love!! Now I know what some people are thinking, you don't know where you will be living. True... But wherever we go we can find a place to build. And if we can't vuild in two years than I will save all of my research and findings until the day when my dream comes true.
The house plan is called Taylor Creek. If anyone has any knowledge about home building let me know... I need a heavy arsenal of tips and tricks...
