Very cool! Congrats on the progress.

We just bought our first peice of land (happens to be a house on it). We will be knocking down the existing structure and building our first house from scratch.

While we have plenty of experience rehabbing, this venture will provide lots of new learnings, I am sure.

Super excited and a little nervous!
