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.

While the Cats Away.............

..................The mice will play, and play they did!  While I was off on a two week vacation my husband, his Dad, my folks and our friend Joey got an amazing amount of work done.  I should go away more often :-)

Dave's Dad got our garage so organized that we can almost start thinking about actually parking in there!

It's getting there anyway, we can see the floor.  At least he can park his bike inside now.

Dave and Joey hung three doors!!

This is the door to the sewing room.  They even got door nobs in and trimmed them.

The sewing room door was particularly tough since we didn't really leave enough room for the door, in fact it had to open out into the hall. All the door frames were just a tad too short so all the doors had to be trimmed.

The next big project will be the floor in the guest room.  The three guys got that room emptied so we can first level the floor and then get ready to lay the bamboo in there.

It's nice to finally have some momentum again for finishing this house.

Thanks everybody!!!
