When we got involved at the end of last December the house was dried in but no sheetrock was up. Of course we made some changes, but that wasn't really a big deal. The timeline was to close on March 29th. We blew past that without checking up! We have moved all over the southeast, but I'm in a more stable job now and the plan it to settle down here for the long haul. That's why I bit the bullet and perused the shop. Everyone was on board for it but getting someone reliable to build it was a challenge. The first guy to commit to building it just disappeared. Literally, no one has heard from the guy in months. Then the second shop builder has obviously followed through, but he wasn't able to stay anywhere close to the agreed upon schedule.
So, yeah. It should have been about 6 months total, but its stretching out to more like 8 or 9. In the end it's going to be awesome, so I'm not complaining too much.
