Summary
What's it *really* like to build your own home? After selling her house via text (yep, really) and beginning to build her forever home with her family on the lake they love, co-host Laura knows. And she's here, along with Jessa, to share her best tips for creating the home of your dreams (while avoiding the same "fun" surprises she encountered along the way).
