    I was just reading a very, very old post - The house that YGG built (ok - not really) - and wow...it brings back memories.

    Just reading the first few posts stirred up a lot of emotion. What a journey it's been getting this thing put together from start to finish. The funny part is I was hopeful at moving in mid-September when I actually moved in to a house that wasn't even complete on Christmas Eve. Can you say "off schedule"?

    Here's a link to some pictures if any of you are curious as to how it turned out. As I said, it's not 100% but it's just finishing touches that need to be done now. As soon as I can I'll get some pics of other areas of the house (bathrooms, smaller spare bedrooms, etc. - things I haven't bothered to photograph yet).

    It was cool to share the experience with you guys. Cheers!

    I swear my son was just a thought when you started building that house, and now it is done.

    Take that big sigh of relief!

    Cheers, that is a fantastic looking house!

    Wow. What a shit hole. Well, at least it's YOUR shit hole.

    Congrats, broseph. It really does look nice. I should visit sometime and help you clean out your bar.

    Looks awesome... you need to add some photos of the outside completed.

    Yeah, post some outside pictures so I can figure out your exact location. Your bar is as good as mine, son.

    I'll take some outside pics when all the snow is gone and I get some grass in the backyard. The mud mess now is quite unattractive.

    Yeah. I have two prev. gen STS's. I like the CTS but being rear wheel drive it's not the best choice for my neck of the woods. The new CTS-4 (AWD) is in my scopes though. The new STS-4 is also very, very elite. I'd love to upgrade but not as much as I love having paid off vehicles and no car payment.

    Have you started any of the landscaping yet?

    Looks like you have some room to work with!

    We've just got the front yard sodded. Hydroseeding the backyard in the coming 1-2 weeks. We're planning on doing a lot of landscaping this weekend because the weather is supposed to be amazing (do a weather.com on 99208). We'll see though, most likely I'll blow it off and decide to bomb around the lake instead - I've been itching to do that ALL WINTER.
