Nice house. Despite the argument that may ensue from certain quarters, It shouldn’t take more than 160 hours to build and have move in ready. But that’s just the circles that I’d been working with, another build was scheduled and there was no time to dilly-dally. I miss those days.
Absolutely adorable!
