Concrete.... alllllll the concrete

June 28, 2020
One of the things the builder prepared us for when we started this process was the amount of concrete it would take to pour all the way back to our home from the road. It was worth it to us to be tucked back in the woods. I definitely didn't prepare myself for HOW MUCH concrete that would actually mean. I'll post picture and then let you guess how much.
*hint, it's likely more than you're guessing*
They lined the driveway... and then we decided we wanted it wider. So they lined it again. *I bet they hate us*
**To be fair, they said they would consult us first, but they didn't. So.... I don't feel too guilty.**

Back of the house

We don't like it. They're working to see what can be changed. It's uneven and steep. We are asking for another step/landing to be added. We will see what they come up with.

Answer to how much concrete:
20 trucks.
20. trucks.
twenty. trucks.
That's a lot of concrete.

How fitting.

Marital opportunity for growth

June 28, 2020 In an effort to keep it real, I'd like to introduce you to the only argument Jason and I have had over this whole ordeal. When we entered in to the building phase, many people warned me that it would be a strain on our marriage and it really hasn't been. Probably because Jason hasn't had many opinions. ha! He's pretty much said "I trust you" over and over, so I do what I want. Well, we went to discuss how the back porch would be poured and he and the project manager thought a rounded patio would be nice. I said I preferred clean lines (always right angles, not curved). I prefer clean lines for multiple reasons, but one is that furniture placement is difficult in circles and I just think more can be done with a square than circle. Jason thought the round patio looked more custom (he's probably right on that).  I didn't have a big opinion on it (at least I didn't think I did) so they marked it and we went on. *To be fair, it was a bi...
