We landed our real estate agent when another agent missed our showing. The boys instantly fell in love with her! She hauled them around from house to house and made sure they didn't play with any nails or eat dead bugs. We looked at some really rough homes and she was willing to show them all. She stuck with us through missed chances, lost deals, and oh no lets back outs. She took such careful time with us and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I know her willingness to find us a home is one of the only reasons we are in this one today. I would recommend her over and over again. We love you Kaci! Kaci Johnson Realty Mart
Our contractor was also at the first missed showing. We had asked him to give us an idea of what it might cost to get it fixed up. The first house we fell in love with had plywood for walls. It was no longer being supported by its foundation, and had three chicken houses on the 5 acre piece of land. It was a real beauty. He was open to our dream but wasn't afraid to tell us we were a bit crazy. When we called him up for this house he was much more pleased with our choice. This on was still a bit of a crazy choice but he was up for the challenge! Bad piping, out dated heating and air held us back but turns out his biggest obstacle in this house would be time and my decision making! He was great to work with and we can't thank him enough for the finished product! Hansen Brothers Construction
We chose to work with Will for many reason but his heart for missions solidified our decision. A portion of his income goes to his nonprofit that builds homes for refugees in Uganda. We love that through the construction work in our home a family across the globe will achieve their dream home. Carpenter Project
Got to say a big thanks to my Dad. He helped me knock down the first two walls and kick off the entire project. He found the perfect log from my home town and turned it into a mantle that would be the focal point of our home and a wonderful reminder of where I come from. He also built a mud cubby that will help this momma organize the chaos. He helped Alex install our security cameras and did every other little small task I asked of him! He got us started and helped us finish! I know he did it for the boys and I think they showed him this weekend how grateful they were! They brought him every little worm and slug they could find!
So here we are today. This is the work of family, friends, our agent, our contractor, our kids, our own blood sweat and tears, and a lot of Dave Ramsey!
To everyone who listed to me talk about it WAY TOO much, who dealt with my tears or who prayed for us! We appreciate you so much! Thanks for loving us through it! :)
Finally to Chip and Joanna Gaines :) Thanks for the inspiration and making it look easy. You guys are crazy to want to do this all the time! I think once might be good enough for me!
