We built a house!!

[PozzSka]

Well...

This past Friday, my family and I moved into our new place...we broke ground April 16th after having lived in a one-bedroom, 800sq ft in-law suite for 2 1/2 years (that's me, my wife, my two kids, and two dogs and a house full of stuff, and my coffee roasting business, and my wife's vintage goods business).

Here is a DropBox folder for pics...

Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll upload them here...

We are so relieved to move in and live in 2600 sq ft of brand new house, the dogs love the 1 acre lot, and I'm across the street from my brother and sister-in-law.  

It feels like forever. But, we're finally in...


Edit:

Here's some of the photos...

Pre-digging

Digging and Foundation/Basement

Framing and Roof

Finished Kitchen w/ vintage cast iron farmhouse apron sink and 39" countertops becasue we are a tall people:

Stairway/Landing w/ antique stainglass window

Custom Master Shower (5'x5', shower heads high enough for me to not have to duck)

Front of House during yard install

Living Room pre-furniture

Me in front of the wet bar/espresso bar/built-in kegerator

I don't have any finished photos of the bedrooms/garage/workshop/basement yet because everything is still a mess.

Very, very cool. Being a musician I have to say, I love the basement.

Great looking house, congrats, it has to feel sublime!

Very, very cool. Being a musician I have to say, I love the basement.

I am also a musician. So my guitars, drums, amps, etc. will mostly be in the basement. The grand piano will be in the living room, and a few select instruments will be on the wall.

My family plays rock 'n roll as well as Croatian/Serbian folk music (tamburica), so those will be proudly displayed as well...I'll post more pics when they're up.

Just beautiful sir! Really like the front porch, looks like enough room out there to sit and smoke no matter what the weather.

This is really cool, Nathan! Housewarming party? :mrgreen:

My family built a house my sophomore year of high school. We did a ton of the labor ourselves. I remember getting out of school and going to the work site to help out.
