Rain, Mud, and Construction

Alright, here’s another entry of catching up.

Right after excavation on September 20, we received some rain, but this didn’t really delay things. Our foundation footings were poured before we visited the site on the 25^th. I’ve read other Ryan Home builders comment that looking at the footings makes the house seem smaller than it actually is. Because it was so muddy, we didn’t walk around the space, so here’s a nice shot from the front.

Lessons Learned and Selected Upgrades

As mentioned in the previous entry, I ask a lot of questions. I am not afraid to admit when I don’t know something. To rectify this, I do as much research as possible by talking to people and internet searches before speaking to those whose job it is to answer my questions (keep in mind that these people want to be helpful, but they are also trying to sell expensive products and services). Whenever conducting internet research, it is always important to analyze the sources to ensure accurate information (life hack?). My primary sources were blogs of other customers of Ryan Homes because who knows a process better than others who have gone through it. Now it's my turn.

Down the Rabbit Hole

I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Where to begin! I’ve never blogged before, but reading other home building blogs has been incredibly helpful, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I’ll probably include way more details than necessary, but hey, this is for my records as much as sharing this process and helping others.
