Welcome to the site! We're just getting it off the ground now, because things are starting to happen with our house. Over the next few days we'll talk about who we are, why we started this site, why we chose Bay West, and what the process has been like so far. They haven't started digging yet, so the journey has just started. I hope you'll enjoy reading about our experiences of building a new house, and hopefully we'll all learn a few things along the way about what it takes to build a new house.

In addition to wanting to look back on this home builders diary some day and have a wistful sigh, I want this to be a useful site for other first-time home builders to reference. The issues to watch out for, the problems we might have - hopefully this will allow you to avoid the same issues when building your own home. My hope also is that Bay West Homes would be even more interested in doing a superb job knowing that their progress will be talked about on this site!
