Vivek's First Home


I have setup this page to discuss my experience with my first home, which is far more involved than I had ever perceived it to be in the past. Perhaps someone else who is considering building their first home can benefit from my tale here (maybe save themselves from learning a lesson the hard way, etc.), or perhaps gauge an idea of the progress of their current home vs. another builder. Scroll down to bottom for links to my home journals.
