Our SM is hoping for the garage roof and gutters to go up tomorrow or start…

I never knew how much gardens cost until now. I thought the quote we got was excessive, 56k minus fencing and pergola, but that was before we decided on the…

Our SM is just all around great. He's fixed up all the problems and said whatever else comes up as we move along he will sort.
I'm a happy camper…

So the last month has been fairly unproductive. We saw the roof going on and the windows installed on the upper level.
We've also had some major drama with missing/…

I drove past your place today, lots happening on site
