I’m loving it. Almost went this way but the annual exterior maintenance plan did me in. I’m not getting any younger.
That would be my only hesitation as well.
The house is really coming along though, Clay. Looks fantastic. Love the porch.
For our climate not too bad, with the porches you are looking at cleaning and staining about every 4-5 years.
Looking good Clay!
At this point in the game it looks like all the rough in work should be getting started.

Stunning!!!! Parts of me wishes we had gone this route but the above quote overruled.
Clay, what’re you seeing on the price of stone and delivery obverse your way? Curious if it’s on par on what I’m seeing over here.
Around the triad 30-35 a ton is about normal, all depends on how much the quarry charges. We get it hauled out of Pittsboro for $26.50 a ton, but the quarry over there charges way less than Martin Marietta does.
Looks like Vulcan is the closest one to you and they might charge more also.
Back porch is done, spending money like crazy, fireplace, got a deal on some flooring, plumbing supplies, electrical supplies, roofing materials, starting to do some electrical rough in work. Things are picking up speed and I am dead tired today.
