We built our first house! Building a home is truly special. So much detail goes into creating the most perfect space for the family. Although the process can be stressful, living in the finish product is priceless! So many memories have already been made here and I cannot wait to make even more.
Do it yourself!
When we first considered building a home, we received a lot of advice about what our builder should do versus what we could do ourselves. We all know builders like to over charge here and there. Lots of money can be saved by doing your own lighting, flooring, painting! If you are handy, you can complete these tasks yourself or hire a contractor to compete them.
The first project we completed before we even moved in to the house was installing flooring! We ripped up the carpet ourself and had a crew lay the flooring.
Next we installed our own light fixtures and fans!
Lastly, we painted our cabinets and installed new hardware.
