It can be so stressful, but in the end it's usually so worth it!<BR/>Your ability to visualize a finished project is indeed a gift. We've often said we'd like to build a home someday, but the price of land here in CA is very expensive.<BR/>xoSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024132046092264711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-20163368034885222552008-05-14T17:35:00.000+01:002008-05-14T17:35:00.000+01:00It does sound like they are experiencing two very ...It does sound like they are experiencing two very different situations. It is fun to see the progress and imagine what yours will look like.<BR/><BR/>We did a remodel last year and had workmen here for 5 months. Everything went smoothly, finished ahead of schedule, looks great, but it was still too long for me! Guess I am too impatient.Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-28878338716545570542008-05-14T14:30:00.000+01:002008-05-14T14:30:00.000+01:00I like to build houses in my mind and on paper.

My parents built their own home, my dad designed it for them (mostly for my mom). Lovely that you can share in your friends anticipation.Joyful Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605433538598120854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-46021753867955160772008-05-14T05:45:00.000+01:002008-05-14T05:45:00.000+01:00I wish I had your 3D eye for seeing the finished p...I wish I had your 3D eye for seeing the finished product. That's not my forte' at all. We built this house 30 years ago and it certainly has served us well. There are some things we would change and now it needs some updates but we keeping finding interesting places to visit instead :)) Perhaps you can show us the finished friends projects soon - I'd like that!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04273314911940422824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-2459172308399327692008-05-14T05:29:00.000+01:002008-05-14T05:29:00.000+01:00I like your dream.

Of course, the Brits are doing wonderful things with small, energy friendly homes that are still charming and cozy without causing claustrophobia.<BR/><BR/>Ahhh, the memories of chaos...yuck. LOL!

Good grief. And the one friend sounds like she's having a pretty rough time of it too. I know it's all worth it in the end, but you know me. I'd go completely crazy if my house were that chaotic for that long.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get to build your dream. And I have a feeling you will.

When we had this house built,l it was exciting. But we would do things so very differently if we did it again.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.com
