Subfloors - CHECK


was scheduled to work on Sunday at the build site, I was very excited to get going on the build as I haven’t yet done anything with the house. Sure enough, I get a call on Saturday night, saying “no need to come on Sunday, they got everything done” 

  WONDERFUL

 I was definitely looking forward to going to the build site, but at the same time, how could you not be excited that there is progress on your new home?!

 It’s only 3 weeks away from the Blitz Build, which will be absolutely INTENSE! I’ve booked off two weeks from work so I can work every day and build my sweat equity hours.  Helina has been baking snacks for the work site, which also counts towards our sweat equity. I think that will be the hardest thing during this build, is managing to get all our hours in. between Helina and I, we need to do 300 hours of sweat equity.  

Here’s what is going to happen during the blitz build… it takes place from June 13th to June 27th.


  •          Raising Exterior Walls
  •          Building Floors
  •          Raising the Roof (whoop whoop)
  •          Plumbing
  •          Electrical
  •          Dry Walling
  •          Painting
  •          Flooring
  •          Trim Work
  •          Kitchen Cabinets
  •          Siding
  •          Bricking

 Basically what this tells me,  is that we’re going to build an entire house in 14 days.

 More to come…

  1. Jealous! We won't get a basement just the foundation and we will probably be high off of the ground.

  2. Haha yea, the land is in a flood zone though, so we can't finish it, but it will be great for some storage!
