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.

Oh My Gosh? Is It Really A Post

Em1 Yes.  Sort of.  I have just finished the last white room in the house.  I finally painted my office/rec room.  I will expand on it tomorrow with pictures I just needed to prime the pump and get back in here and start posting.

I have also gotten set up to finally finish tiling my kitchen back splash.  I have had a a tile saw set up in my living room longer than I care to remember.  The last two tiling projects are the kitchen and the stairs to the third floor. 

We have had an awesome summer, our river float ended up being on the hottest day of the summer and was great.  It's been cool and raining just about ever since.

Dave, Howard and Marshall win the prize for most creative float.  They were the Titanic band, the Unsinkable Ti-Tones.  Dave worked for a week making a piano and a double bass out of Styrofoam and plywood.

The amazing thing is they floated too!

It feels good to be back here.  Promise, I won't be a stranger.
