It's been a long, long time. When the news hasn't been great it was super hard to share progress. There have been so many challenges with our builder and I found writing about the negative just brought me down even more than I already felt.
There was so much to learn about how to keep our designer and builder communicating, most of all to us. But ultimately it was getting our builder to communicate with us. It was like digging through clay. There were huge gaps with us reaching out numerous times to no avail.
The bright side of this is that nearly eight months after our house fire and four months after the demolition of the burnt house we have decided to sell the cleaned up lot (with a useable foundation) and buy a already built house.
Last week we contacted our realtor to list the lot and begin our search. Saturday we looked at 5 houses, drove by about 8 more and think we've found the one. Now we just need to iron out a few details with our insurance company and mortgage company and then we can move on to the next chapter.
I so desperately want to move on and put this behind us. I look forward to start buying the things that fill our home that we want and are ours, not rented.
I will share much more about the process we have experienced and what can be learned from it soon.
