We have learned that our new winter home being built in NV now has trusses atop its framing. You can see photos at the other DrC’s blog.
There is a report plywood to cover said trusses has been delivered, but not yet installed. A tentatively promised “close of escrow” date in mid September begins to look possible, if not a slam dunk.
This will be our sixth brand new, never occupied house. We got our first in 1978 and have owned two-at-a-time since the mid 1990s. For a year we owned a third in the early 2000s, in a Dallas exurb. Three was too many.
Believe it or not, we’ve liked all five, have warm memories of each one. We truly never had a stinker, but are glad we’ve shed the four we no longer own. Knowing when to leave a house may be as important as knowing when to buy one. Hanging on too long is a mistake.
The foregoing sounds like we’ve moved often, which is misleading. The CA house we sold four months ago we built in 1987 and owned for 33 years and we built our current WY place 21 years ago. We will cop to liking new houses.
