Build, Baby, Build
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Well, the election is over. We can all go back to our “real” lives. Whether you are pleased or dismayed with the outcome, life will go on. We will, of course, have to get over our addiction to the pundits and polls. That may be difficult, but we will be more productive once we take that step (or that 12 step program…if there is one).
What we can do is stop waiting for the other shoe to drop, stop waiting for someone to tell us that things will be better…or worse. We can move forward…boldly.
There are good reasons to build today. With the slowdown in construction, finding a builder may be easier, finding tradesmen who want to work is easier, interest rates are down, and construction loans are available.
David and I are taking advantage of this slow down and are building our timber framed home. We have already seen economies and savings. It is working for us. We are seeing savings of ten percent and more in our budgeted costs. This is a significant savings.
So step out there. Build that home or vacation retreat and enjoy it now, not later. You’ll be glad you did.
