I've been stalking this forum for sooo long now and it's been such an amazing resource for us in the lead up to our first build. I'm so excited to finally be able to make my own thread!

Re: Our First Build - HGWA 2Mar 30, 2015 11:45 pm Holy WIR o.O that is ginormous!! Love the plan Kellie posting to follow along! Re: Our First Build - HGWA 5Mar 31, 2015 5:24 am That'd be the biggest WIR I've ever seen! I do have a philosophy that the more storage you have the more you get to fill! Go girl! I'm another southwest builder, looking forward to seeing how yours unfolds! Re: Our First Build - HGWA 6Mar 31, 2015 8:54 am Love it!!! Omg the wir is hugeeee... How big is this house, it has everything!!! ?? I'll follow the progress of your build.. Good luck Re: Our First Build - HGWA 9Mar 31, 2015 4:05 pm Hey Kellie, Just posting to let you know I've subscribed to your journey. If you need a hand getting in contact with anyone at HGWA just shoot me a private message on here or FB. I'll jump on the bandwagon and say... Well played with the WIR, well played. If money ever gets tight you could rent that space out to backpackers. Thanks, Ethan Re: Our First Build - HGWA 13Apr 05, 2015 6:29 pm That is a beautiful plan kellie your house will be lovely! Re: Our First Build - HGWA 15Apr 06, 2015 10:08 pm Lovely plan & absolutely loving the wir every girls dream Re: Our First Build - HGWA 16Apr 07, 2015 6:13 pm Thanks so much everyone Just hanging out for things to get moving now! We pretty much added all our variations during the design stage so hoping prestart will be relatively easy with no big surprises Re: Our First Build - HGWA 17Apr 07, 2015 6:26 pm WOW your WIR is probably bigger than my master bedroom! What are your plans for it fitout wise?
