and here we are near November and it's still not done. Not to mention that there's soooo many details and mistakes that have to constantly be fixed. I'm never building a custom home again, it's too stressful.

It's rather remarkable how much rework needs to be done because they just screw

It's crazy, it would save sooo much time if they would just take an extra 5 mins

Is it a problem installing the Olympic sized pool, tennis courts or indoor basketball court?

I bypassed potential issues by having each in their own stand-alone building.

The hardest one was my helicopter building. Worth it though.

Those huge retractable roofs can be a pain.

Especially when you have multiple hangars.

It's cheaper to build a custom home where I live than buying an existing home.

Sounds like your builder is figuring things out

I learned at an early age from working for a contractor, seeing friends do it

My custom home builder tried to sell my house to someone else mid build.

I know when I added the 6 car heated and AC garage it was such a nightmare

It's not the main level that's the problem.

I know! Do you get the pneumatic or hydraulic lift?

You have a really great floor plan. I've really enjoyed walking thru your house.
