Thoughts on custom building

Hmm...where to start and still be fair...

Ok well first off, both Cathy (one of my girls) and I had been commissioned to build first one then a second house. Now to be fair, we both new the owner of the first house so both of us felt there would be little issues in building it and we were right, it went smoothly, he was patient, and pointed out things that we may have missed to fix, over all a very good experience. The second house however *shivers* was for one of his girls...well temporary girls anyway. At any rate, it started off relatively simple, a basement playroom, a first living floor and second bedroom floor with maybe a small dance area on the roof....that was when it was simple, but it all snowballed from there. Next thing we knew it was supposed to be four floors, a bigger dance floor and a playroom floating high in the air. To top it all off she was in a rather big rush, and we were both working frantically to finish it and keep her relatively happy.

At any rate, this has taught me, and reminded me that never again will I make anything custom without a firm plan in place as well as being able to take breaks without having to constantly have someone in my IM box begging me to finish quickly.

Ok that's my rant for today, next time I won't be so bitchy I promise ^^.
