Lots of people have asked me this question and I think this video pretty well sums up why that isn’t possible.
The house, for the most part, is being completely demolished other than one room upstair and downstairs and the garage. This, combined with the fact that our Construction Loan doesn’t allow for it are the main reasons we couldn’t stay in the house and also had to move out all of our stuff. We can’t move back in until the city issues us a certificate of occupancy.
