HOW TO SURVIVE THE STRESS OF HOME BUILDING
Believe what people say there is a lot of stress
involved in building a house. But other people
have survived it, and so can you.
2
BREATH DEEPLY. Deep breaths, with an emphasis on
the exhale, help to relieve stress. You need to
put the stress of house building into
perspective. It's brick and mortar, not life and
death. Remember this when you want to kill
someone over the placement of a window.

TAKE YOUR TIME

Building a house takes months, and then fine
tuning it takes years. There are many variables
to coordinate in building a house. Each one
represents an opportunity for delay. Understand
up front that the timetable is just a
guesstimate, and you'll avoid unnecessary stress.

GUARD YOUR BUDGET
6
LOOK FOR THE LIGHT. One stress reliever in
building a house is that it can't go on forever.
Eventually, the house will be done and the
contractors will go away. Focus on that light at
the end of the tunnel when you're feeling
overwhelmed
7
GUARD YOUR BUDGET. A project this large is likely
to creep over budget and cause you stress. Plan a
small contingency fund for errors into your
budgeting. However, also be aware of the cost of
every decision you make. When asked to make
decisions on the construction site, always ask
about the cost. CREATE A SAFE PLACE. During this
lengthy construction process, you need a place to
live. Reduce your stress by spending an hour or
two each day in this safe place, focusing on
something other than the house you're building.
