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.

First Frost

It seems so early but we had our first frost last night.  It got into the 20's!  It made for a gorgeous morning.

I just love these  tiny pine cones.

It's hard to tell here but there was a frost line around the edge of every leaf.

The salmon are starting to die now. It's easy to tell because the neighbors dogs have been rolling in them but it also  brings lots of eagles, herons, gulls and otters to feast on them.

Things have been slow around the house.  My "to do" list is getting long.  The first thing on it now is a new hen house, then we have to get our fence up.  We are really going to work towards getting some walking trails established once the blackberries die down.  Inside we need to work on trim and staining, tiling and the loft bathroom.  The guest room is ready for flooring..........I'd better stop there or I'm just going to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head.
