Are we there yet?

  • How about a little history.
    I started this blog in 2003. It was to be all about our experience in house building. It's been an amazing journey. Sometimes I look around and I can't believe we acutally built this house and when I say we I mean we. Myself, my husband, his cousin Russ, our Dads and assorted friends and other relatives. We did hire a contractor to pour our foundation and we had a horrible experience with some drywallers but otherwise it was all us. We have been in the house now for one year. There are still a lot of details to finish up. I have some guilt about not posting house projects since I am a member of a house blog ring but there is a lot of valuable information on house building here so while my posts are more about living in our dream house you can still search my archives for posts on every aspect of house building. So? Are we there yet? Nearly. We still need doors and trim inside.......some flooring and tiling needs to be done so stay tuned-we'll get there.

Weekend Plans

We were supposed to be putting in a fence this weekend but our tree cutters didn't show up last Friday so the tasks are backing up.

This just arrived.

Dumpster We are finally going to get the construction garbage out of here as well as a ton of other stuff. 

Renting this dumpster was a good deal.  It's $115 plus $3 per day.  Then just the regular dump fees of $89 a ton.  This will be so much better than taking a million trips to the dump.

The tree cutting guys are supposed to come Thursday now so that means this weekend we will be cutting, splitting and stacking wood as well as filling up this dumpster. 

I think I'll keep the dumpster at least a week.  That should be enough time to clean this place up.
