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.

All work and No Play

Ya just gotta play once in a while.  I have taken a break from house building and took some time to visit friends in California.  The best part about this is that while I have been gone the husband has been home and putting up doors!  They got three doors installed while I have been gone and that is great since there were no doors to the bedrooms or the guest room door to the bath on the main floor for ............hmmmmm two years?  I think they might even be putting up trim.  This is very exciting.

Also, Dave's Dad has been working away in our garage organizing!  I have been told that you can not only actually walk in there but that a car might just fit inside!  This is magic.

I have been kept posted on the progress by photos but this is going to be a rare image free post from me as my old traveling  lap top just can't handle them. I have been trying to change them from pdf's to jpg's for an hour now and it crashes every time so I'm done messing with it.  Rest assured, there will be pictures when I get back to my desk.

I have been from San Fransisco to L.A. in 13 days and it has been grand.  When I return it's back to business as usual as these doors (along with some others) will need to be stained.  It's been a long trip and while I have had a blast it will be good to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night.
