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.

Deck Building Party

    Sunday the 12th was David's birthday and he asked for a deck building birthday party. We had lots of friends show up and got a lot done.

New DIY Community

I just joined a new DIY community that I wanted to share with all my DIY buddies building or remodeling houses.  It's called Refurber and it is a group of folks all doing the same thing.  It's just getting started but I see a huge potential here for information sharing and being able to benefit from everyone's experience.

You can ask questions and get answers and suggestions from folks that have done it before.  You can also share advise by answering questions or posting articles.  I think it's going to be fun and I think I can share a lot of my experiences and get some help with the new issues that are arising on this house like leaking roofs and splitting floors.

Comments

Well.... I went and checked it out. Unfortunately, the first post I read was from the cofounder bragging about how many millions they have in "investments" and how much their first and second house cost. Put me off the place entirely.
