I found this link this morning while looking up how long each step of building a house takes to complete. While our home is custom and large, our timeline will be longer for each step.
This is such a great thing to see! Boy, we have so much done already! After feeling like I thought we were still at day 1 for breaking ground, I needed to look back and see what we've accomplished so far.
On this list, we are at ID #48 of 197 already! Wow.
