Homebuilding Tips

Do you wonder what it’s truly like to build your own custom home? Perhaps no one you know has built a custom home, and you’re considering it, but you’d like to get a little more advice first.

When the autumn rains hit, folks in the Pacific Northwest rejoice. It’s part of our culture. The rain signals our habitual return to galoshes, steaming coffee, and the well-worn fleece jacket kept hanging on the kitchen hook, even on the hot days. When you live in the Pacific Northwest, you learn to live with the rain, not around it.

It’s a nice idea. Buy an older home with lots of “charm” and restore it to its former glory. Add some modern touches, update the appliances, add some good old-fashioned elbow grease and voila! Dream home. Plus, the money you’ll save by buying a “fixer” means you’ll be able to create the home of your dreams practically for a song, right?
