7,000 Views and counting!

Our blog has now had over 7,000 page views to !!!
We know our friends and family only account for pageviews in the hundreds. So to everyone else out there that has been tuning in, I hope you have found this blog informative. We are getting close to completion and our walkthrough with our Field Manager is tomorrow. We are making the punch list of things that we would like to see repaired or touched up. There are some minor things that need addressed and a couple larger issues. I will wait to see what Wayne Homes will agree to as far as what I think should be done before posting details.

We've had a lot of hiccups along the way so far but construction is prone to such things. I have not always been pleased at how some things were or were not addressed when I brought them up. Other things I've been quite satisfied with. But as the house stands currently, things are looking pretty good. Most things I wasn't willing to fix myself have been addressed. And the enormous amount of hours I've poured into the house with help from friends and family have made our house truly unique.

It is certainly a mark in the plus column to Wayne Homes that they do have flexibility with letting home owners do some of the work themselves. That is as it should be since this our build project and our house and not theirs. But I know some other builders are not as willing to work with the homeowner. The fact we put in our own arches and stair post/rail/ spindles/ faucets/ light fixtures etc. have made our home a 1 of a kind.

So when we officially get the keys in the near future, I will post my final thoughts on the entire process from start to finish and what I think of Wayne Homes as our builder. If our blog can help anyone considering building with them make up their minds either way, then we are happy to have been of help. Anyone can post comments on this blog so feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer based on our experience.

Thanks again to everyone that has been viewing our experience building our house. Now if all of you would show up with a bag of grass seed mid September, I can get my yard seeded.
Please?!?
