June and July were mostly wet. Mostly it was a time of great frustration with building a house. Basically nothing significant happened other than changing the design, restaking the foundation, then finally getting a quote we didn't want to afford. So we told the contractor we were DONE. We contacted a Realtor to consider selling the lot and purchasing a house. Our new Realtor, Diane, found us some potential properties and also suggested we consider a different builder. That was an excellent suggestion. We met with the builder recommended and after a lot of discussion decided to build. So now there is progress.
The house has been sited. Foundation dug, footers poured and the foundation forms are up. We decided not to use ICF's, integrated concret forms, or spray foam insulation becasue they are to costly. So it will be standard 2x6 construction with the basement walls studded and insulated.
