Building our Family Home

We are actually doing it! We are building our dream home and it sure is coming together fast! Six short weeks ago we had a lot that looked like this:

Now we have a second floor and all the interior walls are complete!

Time to start working on the roof!

A few quick facts about the house:

• It is being built on a 1 acre lot in a small neighborhood just outside the city of Baraboo. It is actually about 5 minutes away from the house we are currently living in!
• It is a 2 story home with 3800 finished square feet. We will finish off the basement ourselves down the road!
• It is currently 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths (we plan to add two bedrooms and a bath in the basement)
• We are hoping to move in by Thanksgiving but will definitely be in our home by Christmas!
