Well I got married April 14, 2012 and after looking at houses looking to move houses and all of that we decided we were just going to build a house and it's been worth it 100% percent. We have been working on it for 10 months and are almost finished. Thought I'd share some pics. From start untill now.

The pad pushed.

Dirt being brought in.


Pouring.

All the rock came from my wife's dads place he grew up on that's on the Colorado River in Mills County.

Thanks for looking

I did the same thing. Have pics from start to finish on our house. Pretty cool to look back on it now.

It's a long process but it's worth it to make a house the home you've always wanted. Looks nice!

Thank y'all all! I couldn't tell you why there is no plastic? Don't know much about concrete as far as everything else besides that and the frame and rock we have done everything else ourselves. We left that part to the professionals. Everything came out square and good so I'm happy with it.

The guys probably used the feed sacks as a vapor barrier
