Are you that person who drives by a beautiful home and says, “one day, I’m going to build my dream home?” Well I’m about to build my dream home and I’m going to open up every aspect of it to show you how it all goes down.  The good, bad and the ugly.  The fun and not so fun parts, and then there is the changing your mind umpteen times just to go back to your original thought.  It is going to be a wild journey so come on in and experience what my life is like for the next 6-9 months.

          

           Right now I’m in Indiana for Thanksgiving and had this bright idea to do a blog about my upcoming build. 
 Quick background, my name is Tina Sumpter soon to be Tina Hall.  I work for Bob Cook Homes here in Derby, Kansas.  Where you have the most captivating sunrises and sunsets, wind is utterly stupid.  Trees have a permanent lean because of the vicious winds.          

           Anyway, back to me, I have been with BCH for about 4 years, I dabble in everything to phones, permits, billing, change orders, electrical and trim walk throughs, too much to list, in my days it was called “Girl Friday” (Google it😉). My passion is painting furniture but I put that aside temporarily because honestly that doesn’t pay the bills, it’s just a passion. 
 I was married 32 years, then suddenly I became a widow, now 8 years later, I am going to remarry a lovely young 😉man, Lonny.   We both have homes with pasts.  But our future together needed to start off on the right path, our path.  We looked and looked at homes to buy but it is krazee hard for both of us to find what each other likes.  So we decided to build a home.  Nothing fancy, but new beginnings.   So come along with me on this journey and I hope I do BCH justice, I promise to be honest and show you all the “WTHeck” moments, “for Pete’s-sake, what were you thinking” moments, to “that makes no sense” moments.  Going to be an experience to say the least.   Ready, set, Go…..
