I know this because my mom said we ( my sister and I) could decorate our new room when I was forced to give mine up to the new baby... I started talking about tearing down walls ect.

I was the only girl in the class. ;-) I don't draw plans anymore, but I've always got a book or magazine close by that offers up inspiration for homes.

We both worked our regular day jobs and then worked on the house at night and on the weekends. I am sure you would sub everything out. The only way we could afford this house was doing most of the work ourselves plus our friend sent his subs over cheaper than normal on the parts we subbed out. It wasn't too stressful. We were worn out by the time we moved in though in six months time.Kim @ Savvy Southern Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493624262438266840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-36675962322382813172011-03-27T11:25:17.759-07:002011-03-27T11:25:17.759-07:00Fun to dream with you.

We had a great young builder and I was the general contractor. <br />And, yes we have chickens. Their chicken house is in one corner of our barn and they also have access to a moveable outside run where they can free range and help with taking care of pesky bugs in my vegetable gardenGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-58546872503576179432011-03-27T10:24:37.574-07:002011-03-27T10:24:37.574-07:00I'm with Kathysue.
