Hard to believe - Day 75

Our family and neighbors have been visiting a lot lately since our house has been a little more accessible. We have talked in the past about how much we love our neighbors, but I really don't know if it's possible to explain how much they mean to is after coming from "the city" where we were surrounded by college kids and less-than-stellar citizens that had the police on speed dial. Our other neighbors came over yesterday and we shared hugs and stories and just felt really great. They talked about how they took so long to build their house because they did it themselves, in comparison with how fast our house has gone up. It really is amazing to think how far Our Wayne Home has come in just 75 days (including weekends) since digging. There have been times where we have been overwhelmed due to life and the build (and late parent-teacher conference nights on top of that), but when push comes to shove this build HAS progressed fast. We had a slow start. Those weeks of nothing were magnified by the fact that we live on our property RIGHT next to our build. That's what makes it possible for us to document each and every day. That's also what makes our worry and stress about a lack of progress magnified a little bit more than average. Instead of visiting the build a few times a week, we see it. When we leave, when we get home, before we go to bed.... We are always aware of what is going on. That's why after discussing with M and our neighbors, we wanted to reflect on the quickness of this process because when we are reaching our breaking point due to life's stressors, we don't always keep our emotions in check. Wayne Homes has been great. Our Field manager has been great. Our Home Consultant is one of Wayne Homes' biggest assets because we were NOT the easiest customers to deal with. We had questions for several YEARS (mostly in the last year, however) that she always answered. She also helped us completely change our floorplan to get our walkout under our master. This was after we signed contingent, so there was a ton of extra paperwork to fill out... Which she did like a champ and still kept smiling. We felt guilty, but seeing our home come together the way that it is is both exciting and humbling. What do you get when you mix a life-long vision and an awesome builder? Dreams that come true. Thank you Wayne Homes!

All of those change orders to flip only the bedrooms on our floorplan = completely worth it. We are thankful!
