Yay. Our building company uses a service called BuilderTrend. They started sharing photos of our new build with us. 🏡
All the empty land behind and beside our new place will eventually have houses on it, but until then we get a bit of a view.
@Miraz The company that remodeled my house used BuilderTrend, too. Project manager may not have had an artist's sensibility or frankly a very good camera, but it was wonderful to see concrete evidence of progress on the regular.
@Miraz exciting! Watching building progress can be lots of fun… but also frustrating when they don't do much for a while.
@dejus Yet, those fits and starts were really upsetting on the place we currently live in. Our house was supposed to be built in a factory over 6 weeks then shipped down for the interior work. Instead they built it on-site and it was 12 months before it was complete. The builder in charge was … well, let's say I'd never give him any work again and I'd advise friends to steer clear too.
@Miraz that's very frustrating. Sometimes hard to know if a builder is any good. Though I guess that's better nowadays, with online reviews. When we were building a house back in 1998ish, we were able to visit the site, but often nothing had happened for a week or two.
