Home Building in Alaska Part 2

At the 7-month point and the drywall is nearly finished. The budget has been pretty on thanks to our builder being diligent and communicating realistic choices. The biggest issue has been finding a digger to install our water and sewer. The complexity of the job (the 75-foot slope in front) and sheer number of jobs in the area has made this the key point of stress since April. The rest of the build has gone extremely well. Prices for materials stabilized and we were able to lock in our interest rate. One of the keys to saving money was ordering as much as possible to fill the shipping containers from Seattle. It meant shuffling materials that needed to stay dry in the house, but saved a ton on shipping costs.
