December is here, with the first day of winter and Christmas just a few weeks away.
With a little planning, December can be such a great month of fun and keeping the busyness under control. After all, there are decorations to be hung, shopping to be done, football games to watch, meetings to be scheduled, and — if there is time left — a few hours to rest. If you were paying close attention to the last sentence, you’re probably wondering 
about the “meetings.” Well, that’s for those planning to build a dream home in the new year.
Few will argue that December isn’t a busy month, but there are ways to accomplish much and enjoy the season. Here is a link to a helpful article for some assistance, because you may need help to enjoy the last month of 2021. Everyone is encouraged to “holiday” smarter rather than harder. After all, it is “the most wonderful time of the year.”
Now, back to the idea of meeting with builders during this time of year. If 2022 is your year to build or do a major renovation of your current home, contact Mt. Tabor Builders now. The Mt. Tabor team of professional builders usually have a few holes in their schedule during the holiday season. They like to fill this time by discussing potential construction projects for the coming year. If this is you, collect a few pictures and make a list of “dream home” priorities, because The Mt. Tabor reps want to hear your ideas. They can then help guide you in the process, making it easy one from start to finish.
