I’ve been planning to build a house for a few years now. It’s been a process to have the land surveyed, apply for a zoning change, deal with the county etc but we’ve finally started. As we got started and began having materials delivered, it dawned on me that the first thing I bought for the house wasn’t lumber, nails, concrete or plywood. The first thing I bought was a new stove! A Woodstock Progress Hybrid. I actually bought it last Spring during the end of season sale. It was the first thing purchased and will be one of the last things to install. It’s hard to have patience!
