It's about that time!!!

Before I begin with studio, I must say the school added one of the greatest sports to intramurals... KICKBALL!!!! We are called the teabaggers!!! HILARIOUS!!!

Ok, onto to studio... This SIPs is going to drive me up the freaking wall if we don't get the numbers we want from this last company. I got pricing back from the other companies, and I was completely blown away. Heck no, we are not going to spend that much money!! We don't even have that much money yet!!! I got close to the manufacturers and now I have to tell them that we can't afford the product. I am crossing my fingers on the last one. It's cheaper, right up the road, and they have the better product! I'M GONNA GO WORK FOR A SIPs COMPANY AFTER THIS!!!

We decided on a foundation and we are hoping to move forward and start the site layout this weekend. Here's the problem, if we don't use SIPs, we have to go back and redo the drawings. LOL!!! I think we can do it, but hopefully it won' t be necessary. I'm excited about doing two different types of foundation systems, slab and pier system. It's a learning experience.

Welcome to the hell that is 5th year house building...you guys will be fine. Everyone will tell that you'll never get finished but I am telling you, from experience that you can and will finish. You will be tired and exhausted for months on end, but you will get done. The key is to look into the eyes of the family that are depending on you and thats what will keep you going, painting and installing a floor at 3 am the week before graduation. You rock, and know that I'll be there to see the progress. Just let me know where the site is...
