Texas is booming...can't say that for much of the rest of the country.
MP so happy for you and your wife. A new home is exciting enough but with the little one on the way it's even more special. I sure hope it stays quiet here at the shop today....it's almost 100 and I don't want to play outside
I built houses for 2 years, we built them in 6 weeks to 3 months tops.
They were sort of like prefab, the walls came in on a flatbed and dropped on the ground already built and clad in OSB. They went up like a huge jigsaw puzzle and then we tied them together manually.
We had to do some stuff manually if the customer wanted personalization or modifications on the original plans.
Very efficient and although some people frown on it as not being a good way to build houses, it is just as rugged and well built as if someone builds it stick by stick.
One of the homes I built was a custom house that used factory built walls/floors. It was the best quality house I owned. Stands to reason though...factories have QC measures built into their processes including material inspections, jigs/fixtures to build perfect walls, and economies of scale that stick built homes just cannot do to the same degree.
Yep that's why we did it that way, and to houses were cheaper than stick built houses.
One of the best Jobs I ever had, to bad my back went to crap and I got arthritis at 30.....

You haven't seen eastern Ohio. They can't get enough people to fill the jobs.
Once finished before we closed.
After keys.

Love those pics Craig! Glad your sharing them here too. My sweet sentiments continue. Blessings galore!
When people say " I built a house" I actually think they're out there with a hammer and nails.
WooHoo! Mama looking nice and ripe, new house. Things lookin' up Craig! Fenced in yard too! Doggy will like that. You have one dog or two now?
Well, in the case of my first house, I was. It was actually my P's house when I was in high school, but my Dad and I built half of it ourselves...lots of it going behind the worthless subcontractors who did not do their jobs.
No lie! But did you know North Carolina has the fourth largest illegal population in the country? NC is a very fast growing state so many of them have come here to build houses.
The Census Bureau has their ways. And all you have to do is look around. All the house crews and landscaping crews are obviously illegals.
I'd guess there's more to it than looking around 
Who gave NC #4? I did a quick google to see where AZ came in and it varies from who did the research. We're somewhere between 5-8, I see NC at 9. CA and Texas holding 1 and 2 steadily.

No idea who gave it #4. it is something the local news stations repeat over and over. It also probably fluctuates. Housing was very strong here before the bust so NC probably fell off the last five years But it is starting up again so we'll probably climb again.
And this is why Mama Chak get to wave lists at you
Enjoy your purchases!
LOL, Glad to see someone's taking notes.
