July 9th

We are building a house!!!!

I almost still can't believe it. To some of you this is old news, but we wanted to make sure that everything was in place before I posted it. We are building a house and start next week.


We are in a program called Mutual Self-help housing program ran through Neighborhood Nonprofit Housing Coop. (nnhc). It is such a great blessing in our life, that we will be able to help build our own home and our neighbors homes as well. Joe and I never thought we would be able to afford a home, let alone a new one and a very good sized one. We had choices on lots and this one we choose and all the houses around us are also in the program.

We also had the choice of about 10 house plans. We picked our top three and got our top pick. Most people in our group have the house that was in our top three also and we are glad we don't have the same one. We are really nervous about picking out colors now.
This is our layout inside. It is so great that we have four bedrooms.
