I’ve been spending a lot of time on Craigslist lately looking for building materials that we need. So far, I’ve done pretty well with finding a gas range, dishwasher, kitchen sink, and 3 bath vanities all for FREE! I also found 5″ wide brazilian cherry flooring for $3.50 a sq ft as well as carpeting for as low as $1.00 sq ft. The only materials I still need to secure are kitchen cabinets. So every morning, I’m start my day by looking for new postings for free or really cheap cabinets that are still in servicable condition. It seems a little strange to be finishing our brand new house with used items but this is the best solution I can come up with to pass our final inspection and start living in our house.

I recently set an ambitious goal to have our home finished before the upcoming November elections. This will give us the best chance at taking advantage of the all time low interest rates. With this goal in mind, as of today we have 25 more days of hard work ahead of us. Just 25 days… After 2 years, 10 months and 26 days, this seems like a blink of an eye to me.
