For our new home, we put in an order for wallboard, carpeting, shingles and vinyl flooring. They didn't have a big selection, so we decided to get the house without siding and shutters.
Also, there won't be any kitchen cabinets or counter top. Then, we can go to Menard's and choose exactly what we want for cabinets, counter top, and siding.
Jay and I will put the siding on ourselves, we did our last home and it turned out beautiful.
At least the building progress is going forward:)

@kobesbuddy I know it can be annoying like that, but it's just how life works, sadly.

@kobesbuddy Hubby and I have trouble agreeing on those things 
We are both happy with our flooring we picked out though.

We will be using our older furnishings, the couch and love seat are a soft shade of tan. The wallboard will be in shades of tan, throughout the home.

Each step we take, I get anxious about how slow things are moving.

This is actually a fun challenge, except it's happening slower than I'd like.
