If you would like my advice, it would be to never try and build a house.
Always buy one that’s already built because trying to have one built is a huge pain.
We have dealt with one delay after another with this project, and the latest one has set us back almost two whole months. At this point, I really wish that we had just bought a house, but now we are in it so far that we can’t get out of it. We are just going to have to suffer through the whole thing until it’s finally finished, I guess. This last delay was just super annoying. It’s all because of our HVAC contractor and the way that he apparently ordered the wrong ductwork for the new construction house. I don’t know if the HVAC supplier sent the wrong thing or if our HVAC contractor ordered the wrong thing, but whatever the mix up was, we ended up having to return everything and get it re-ordered. When I showed up at the job site and all of the workers were just standing around doing nothing, I nearly lost my mind! Then when the HVAC contractor explained to me what had happened, it was all I could do not to just yank my hair out. I think there was probably steam coming out of my ears when he told me that they were going to have to re-order all of the ductwork and HVAC accessories. At this point, I’m beginning to wonder if we are ever going to be able to move into our house!
