The most questions I get today are about our home build! Building a new home so far has been rewarding but really hard. We build for 35 hours a week and have just finished framing and most of our roof!
I asked my Instagram followers on both my personal blog and photography pages and here are some questions I got about our home build. If you have any others I’d love to add them! Some questions are combined due to similarity. Comment below.
How long will it take to build your house?
We are in a group of 8 families, and we all build each others houses until they are all done. Once all 8 houses are completely finished, we’ll have a big open house and move in! It could be anywhere from July - October 2020.
What did you design on your house?
We picked our favorite house plan from about 10-20 plans and stuck with most of it. We moved a door, and that’s it. When it comes to siding, trim, floors, cabinets, doors, hardware, etc. we chose it all! It took us about a month of going through options to get what we like nailed down.
Where is your lot? How did you find it and how big is it?
Our lot is in Hyrum, UT! We chose from the different “phases” of land available and picked our favorite location. It’s 0.28 acres.
How many rooms are in your house?
We have three bedrooms upstairs, and will have three unfinished bedrooms downstairs when we move in. We'll finish them later.
Do you get any days off?
Only holidays and if the weather is so bad we can't work outside. Since we have roofs now, we can mostly work inside.
Can I come help out?
YES! We love having volunteers and could really use the help! We've had friends volunteer with us and they've said it was cool to learn about building a house. It also helps us finish our house faster, and collect more hours. Let me know if you want to volunteer!
Did you have to have construction training?
Not besides a few safety videos. Our supervisor trains us as we go, and we learn about each process as it comes up.
Thanks for reading! Add additional questions to the comments. See my Instagram for more.
