Foundation

 We hired a metal barn company to do the first big step towards our dream home and our home is constructed Pole Barn style.  This is where the posts are set into the ground first, and then the concrete is poured around them instead of the posts being nailed into the already set concrete.  We also have engineered trusses for the roof which actually gave us alot of attic space which we originally didn't think we were going to have.  We did construct the shop first, just in case we needed to live there while the house was being built.  With this being a whole new adventure for us, we had NO IDEA what to expect time wise or if we were ACTUALLY going to pull off the budget per square foot.  Our hopeful budget is between $100-$105 per square foot and you'll just have to keep following to see if we reach that!
