Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you'd like any advice or info. Are you building on some acreage? One of our bigger issues has been setbacks and the logistics of building on such a tight lot (~40'x~120'). Hope the lending goes smoothly, it seems like rates have been trending down so you can find something that fits your needs.
Also, if you're new to the process, you should check out this youtube channel. Matt Risinger is local to me and is incredibly knowledgeable and always staying up to date with new building technology. He builds some incredible houses!

Yeah, rates have been dropping enough that we’re looking into refinancing, even though we closed back in December, crazy as that is.

Thanks Clint. I’ll likely reach out over the weekend. It’s on .6 acres, we’ll have about 15 feet to both sides of the house not including the 10ft setback. So shouldn’t run into issues there. It’s. Triangle ish lot with the widest being at the front. We’re building towards the back to get further off the road.
Love a good YouTube channel, I’ll check it out for sure, thanks !

Getting a little decorating done in the shop bathroom.

Our project keeps chugging along. Got a few things knocked out:
The tile guys did an amazing job:
Floors were installed:
I performed a redneck method of Shou Sugi Ban on some leftover cedar siding we had to create the balcony ceiling:
I've been working on prepping some cedar for some accent walls with plenty of help from my parents. We'll continue milling, planing, jointing and routing all of this to go up as shiplap:
FYI, that's my dad in the grey hoodie, I've given him a pair of IH loggers but he likes his dad jeans!
Looks great with a bit of Tung Oil:

Beautiful home!

Damn, I love all of that. The tile is especially fantastic.

Back in Sept, we started the process of doing an addition along with a little kitchen work and some essential electrical upgrades. After a bit of a delay from the architect (a long delay actually), we’re finally up and running.
Global pandemic? Furlough? Depression looming? Sounds like perfect timing [emoji106]
Anyway away we go, the old porch & patio are gone (as is most of grass [emoji30]) and the foundation walls are up. If the weather agrees, the rest of the concrete work goes Mon & Tues. Framing MIGHT even start by Thurs.

Best of luck @Anesthetist! I know things are tough right now but I hope things go smoothly for you! Things like this can be challenging but are typically well worth it in the end, it's just hard to be patient at times.

Delay from an Architect? Get outta here!
Nice looking project and perfect timing to work on something like this @Anesthetist.
Could even be a nice family project. -
Sorry for the infrequent updates! Things have really been moving along and exterior finishing is about half way complete. Concrete board is up as are the fascia & soffits. Next will be the battens and replacing the door trim, gutters, and painting. We’ve chose a color scheme that a lot of Eichler and other MCM architects went with including a local architect, Ralph Fournier
