A man who is building a custom home in Magnolia is sharing his experience on his blog A House By The Park .  Mike Davidson is chronicling the step by step process of the design, planning, and construction of his new home. 

Davidson has no home building experience and even though building a house is a private matter, he thinks the information he can provide outweighs the uncomfortableness of the task.  When he started, he found no source of information describing the start-to-finish process.  He is including every detail, including costs, on his site.

Davidson bought this Magnolia view home a little over a year ago and he knocked it down.  

Here is what the house looks like today as construction continues.

You can also watch the progress of the house via a live webcam.
