Simone Biles has shared an update on the construction of the Texas mega-mansion she and husband Jonathan Owens are building – while also speaking out about some of the difficulties that come with creating your own home from scratch.
The gymnast, 26, first revealed that she and her NFL star husband, 28, were building their own abode in March, and since then she has continuously documented the process on her social media account.
Recently, the Olympian revealed that they were adding the interior trim – the “edge material used to cover seams and joints around doors and windows, between floors and on walls or ceilings,” according to Better homes and gardens.
But she admitted the process was much harder than she expected.

On her Instagram Stories, the athlete shared a video on Wednesday showing the inside of what will soon be her and Jonathan's home.
Gray moldings that looked like walls now covered what in her last update were just wooden planks.
Simone explained that what she thought would be a 30-minute visit turned into a six-hour effort after something went wrong.
“Trim walk day two,” she captioned the clip. 'I was here from 11am to 5pm. I thought it would be a matter of 30 minutes. I had no idea what I was walking into…'
Although the athlete didn't release any further information about what the problem was, she explained in a second post that she was “confused as f**k” and started to “freak out” when the accident was brought to her attention.
She added that she had “called her father for support” and that “Jonathan will handle the end result.”
“But I've made so much progress and I'm so proud of myself,” Simone continued. “I hope I did it decently and thought of all the things.”
In a final post, the gold medalist shared a photo showing her bathroom tiles apparently stained with yellow paint.
