This Follow My Home series takes place on Lake Minnetonka, where we are building a four bedroom, six bathroom home. The design and selections have already been finalized, so all that’s left is to get started! With just four months to complete this project, we’ve got a lot to do! Here’s what each phase of this project will entail:

  • Groundbreaking
  • Laying the Foundation
  • Framing
  • Flooring
  • Countertops
  • Light Fixtures & Electrical
  • Exterior Siding
  • Plumbing Fixtures
  • Trim & Cabinets
  • Appliances
  • Final Touches & Finishing

Throughout this process, it’s our goal to give you a bird’s eye view of what to expect while building a custom home. We’ll be sharing our progress, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates!
