Building a 1350 square foot Spec House

We heard chainsaws a few weeks ago that went on and on, so we walked out to see what was going on.

They were clearing trees for a new house.

They dug out all the stumps.

It didn’t think the lot was really even big enough for a house, but it was bigger than it looked.

It’s a good plan! Three bedrooms, two baths, small front porch. The land is quite sloped, so that will likely be a deck on the back.
