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.

Is it October already?

The summer just flew by.  The rains have already started here and the river is up.  There is a huge salmon run this year.  Samon_river This is how the river looked a few weeks ago.  It was crystal clear.  You can see some salmon there in the middle. 

There is a fish at the very top of this one.

This is how the river looks today.

October_river Like a non fat triple shot latte.

It is still full of salmon although we only see them when they jump.

I have started working on projects around the house.  I finally installed the drawer pulls in the kitchen.

Drawer_pulls_3 No more Trying to open the doors with my toes or breaking a nail opening the drawers from the sides.

They look awesome.

It's nice to finally be working on the house again.  We have really been avoiding it for some reason.

Since it is October again we celebrated another anniversary.  22 years.  I cannot believe it.  Dave bought me this lovely Franz swan vase to add to my swan collection.

Swans It is so lovely.  I have been lusting after that collection for some time now.  I'm not sure yet where it is going to live.  Maybe I need to hang a new shelf.
