We built a home on 10 acres

Found this gem just outside of Spokane only a few blocks from where I grew up

We had one hell of a winter so it flooded and we we're worried about wetlands

Luckily I got alot of the water to drain after unlbockimg my neighbors culvert

And of course there was a decent high spot (barrel included)

Couldn't believe our house would be there someday

We got a wetlands expert to make sure we could put in a septic. Luckily we had public water main on the road so no well needed.

And we had a property dispute with our neighbors.

Poor trees... But only dighair so no biggie. Plus conservation will come out and give us more next spring.

That's better

And our dog loves it too

We got anAMAZING excavator. He became a good friend with awesome advice for the whole venture

And he put in ALOT of work

Especially... When we had to dig up the 18 in water main... Which sucked.

I made the best of it. But seriously... Cost me 4500$ just for the permits and fees and we had to dig it ourselves.

Oh thanks water company for simply tapping the main. No no well cover it up

And so we did

Good as new... Ish

And the grass was beautiful in the spring

Foundation time. 1500 sq fat 3 bedroom 2 bath.

People don't warn you about getting temp water or power... Building a home cost a bit of time.

Footings

Walls going up

Framers are hard workers. Along with roofers.

Sweet deal

Well I'll be dammed it's a house

With doors!

My wife and I are not fans of blue houses... So it was crazy when we both decided when we wanted a blue home..

We we're nervous

But the interior... Was amazing

And we got a great back porch....

And holy shit the Blue looks awesome... We we're stoked. I'll plant some trees and get a lawn after winter.

And here is a sunset down the road.... Cause. It was prettyAll in all it cost $330,000 for the 10 Acres of land, water, power, excavation, building and what not. As for advice... Make sure you can take time off of work and have 20k extra for any mistakes or vs that arrives. My wife and I worked our asses off to get this. And we are very proud. Viral edit: if you have any questions about building home feel free to ask and ill answer as best i can. We went through a company that builds the house but we had to do all the land development, financing, purchasing etc. Its a pretty good investment since you walk into decent equity. And thank you all for the mostly kind words!
