Get out while you still can!! We moved from CT to NC a few years ago and haven't looked back. Never looked into building up there, but with all the hoops we had to jump through just to live there I...

Get out while you still can!! We moved from CT to NC a few years ago and haven't looked back. Never looked into building up there, but with all the hoops we had to jump through just to live there I...
I don't know if this works or not, but I've seen people fill the foot parts of a pair of panty hose with rock salt, then throw them over the top of the roof. They hang there and help the ice melt so...
I've driven by a few and only stopped at one. I wasn't hugely impressed but maybe it was just that store that day that didn't have much. It seemed to be mostly used stuff and outdated bathtubs,...
I think we're headed for ICF, full basement, hopefully a walkout with our grade. I agree piers would be much less expensive, but we're realizing how much we depended on a basement in our last house,...
you guys will love class!! See you on the other side!
My husband and I were lucky enough to stumble into a not quite full class a few weeks before it took place. We are now working toward making it happen! We moved to a new state and are living near...
anonymous wife patching in here! emilik- I also wanted everything started and finished in a short period of time so we could start enjoying our forever home. We're newly married and are potentially...
Things are still all over the place with the move, but one of the first things I did was find my skinny artificial tree that I had in my condo and set it up to try and make this new place a little...

Here you go rckclmbr!
Congrats Lance and Dan! You're going to love class! So hard to sit and wait to get there. We only had weeks between sign up time and class and I remember the torture of the anticipation!
Is there a reason you couldn't stay in your house while you build? If you're staying nearby, that might be a convenient option. Unless you want to move into something smaller or cheaper of course. ...
You got it Mosseyme! So exciting to feel like we have neighbors in the area since we're moving away from everyone we know!
Oh and was it the Stihl dealer in Spindale? We stopped in there and ended up with a chainsaw! They have a good catalog of rentals too by the looks of it. Pay for 2 or 3 weeks, keep it for a month.
Awesome! So is your land actually in Lake Lure? Ours is in 12 Mile Post. You pass it on the 64/74 alt out of Lake Lure heading toward "ruffton". Similar story with it being a development but the...
Wishing you luck with getting into class soon! If you're already excited to start, prepare to have fuel added to the fire! We were in the middle of planning a wedding when LBHA started to take over...
Dan, we've recently completed the land search in Rutherford County. We bought land in Lake Lure, and will be living in Rutherfordton while we build. Everyone we've talked to down there seems to be...
Second day, lunch break. Starting to go a little cross eyed!

Just got this email. Haven't checked the fine...
Fine Print has the dates of the class as blacked out... Too bad, it's a good deal!
Thanks for the words of wisdom. Maybe we will learn some patience in class. We have toyed with the idea of roughing in a walkout basement and staying in there while continuing to build. I'm open...
From what I've read, if you do it true to Skip's method, you spend years. A lot of it is waiting and saving and collecting things. Plus the point is to pay cash when you have it, so you might have...
Yum, can't wait!! I hear that's where you keep the rum!
Corey,
From what I've read and looked into, the reason for Vegas is that it's a lot more cost effective than flying to Washington state for most people. Direct flights from most cities, tons of...
Marronnin- I'm not sure if it's the same family. I only read about someone talking about them.
Kickforward- Jeremy works from a home office as well, so having a living space with internet etc is...
We took a trip down a week ago and saw Vance County and kind of ruled that out. Coming from CT, we didn't realize how spread out everything was when we had the idea of "out in the country...
