I decided to start a blog to keep family and friends updated regarding our home building process, and also so I can reminisce when I'm an old lady. I don't know how detailed I will be with describing each step, but basically I like to take a lot of pictures and I figure this is a good place to put them in a timeline format.
I know when we were debating on different home builders, looking at other people's blogs/pictures really helped seal the deal with Wayne Homes and the Montgomery Craftsman.
So here we are, a little over a week after our contract was signed....waiting for our colors meeting.
Our land was owned by my Buscia (grandma in Polish) and her late husband since the 1950s. It was given to them as a payment from my granddad's parents. It has been primarily unused since then, so now it's time to put it to good use! We purchased the 6.75 acres of wooded land off of her in 2012 and decided now is a good time to start building (and get out of our townhouse).
As I said before, the land is wooded. Fortunately it's not dense so clearing it out shouldn't be too difficult (I hope).
Yesterday my parents and I went to the property and tagged all the trees that we want cleared. So now the next step is actually clearing them! We are hoping to get this done before any bad winter weather comes. Our goal is to begin building around March of next year.
We are building in the Pittsburgh area and are going through Wayne Homes' Greensburg location. Our salesperson Melissa has been extremely helpful and patient in dealing with my changes (and my changes to the changes). She is a big reason why we stuck with Wayne Homes. I really don't think anyone else could be any more helpful.
Here are some pictures of our land!
