The House at Saddle CreekAt Long Last Construction . . .After the planning phase, we thought we could breath a sigh of relief - all those decisions behind us - we could sit and wait for the house - wrong again!

My usually calm, laid back (read waaaaay back), unflappable husband was nearly fit to be tied trying to make forward progress.
