Homeless

The problem with building your first house is finding a balance between your current rental agreement and the estimated completion date (which realistically will never be the day that they tell you it is). Which is a problem we are currently facing.

See we currently rent a house from a horrible property management company. Seriously, they are awful, zero communication (unless they want money), the house was a mess when we moved in, they don't do anything for us. Anyway, our lease is up in September and rather than hauling our possessions at fur babies to an apartment for a few months we thought we would go month to month until the house is done. Well, that was a major fail since the horrible management company wants to hike our already exorbitant rent rate up another $100+ dollars and we would be required to give 60 days notice. Andy and I decided for the rate we pay it just wasn't worth it anymore. We moved down here pretty quickly and had to find a place to live fast, which is how we ended up in this house in the first place, so the rate we pay was more than we wanted in the first place. Now we are stuck trying to find an apartment with a short term lease, which is proving difficult and the worst part is we don't know how long we need. Our estimated completion date is in December but we haven't even broke ground yet leading me to think it may be a little longer than we anticipate. So currently, we are homeless, because we have given notice that we will be vacating come September and we haven't found a place that will work with our situation.

Looks like I finally found the downside to building. Boo.
