Plumbing done - deck and shelf planning
Posted in Announcements, General, Plumbing on Jul 8th, 2009 1 Comment »
I installed the last toilet last night (in the master bath) so our plumbing is now officially done.
I’ve also planned our deck and done a material take-off for it. Amber’s working on planning the shelves for the pantry so we’ll order all that material tomorrow and have it delivered on Friday. I expect to get […]
Introducing the Change Log
Posted in Announcements, Change Log on Apr 14th, 2009 1 Comment »
I’ve decided to start a new feature here on this largely neglected blog. I’m going to try to post every day I work on the house with a brief description of what I’ve done - as a friend put it a little while ago, it’ll be a like a change log for the house. Matt […]
Running Water

Running Water. In the house.
A couple weeks ago I started digging the trench to get water into the house. Yesterday, I finished digging and cut and glued up all the pipe. The digging job involved a couple hours work chipping away at the foundation so that I could run a pipe vertically right next to […]
Mast Image Updated
Posted in Announcements on Dec 14th, 2008 No Comments »
Since our previous image was a bit old and didn’t really reflect the current state of the house (picturesque as it was) I’ve updated the image to be more current.
This replaces the image referenced here.
The new image is a composite of two different views of the house taken at approximately 1:30 PM PST on November […]
Rough Inspections Passed
Posted in Announcements, General on Nov 14th, 2008 1 Comment »
Today was the day - rough electrical, rough plumbing and rough framing.
There’s a few minor things that we need to fix but we’re all signed off.
The inspector was very impressed by the electrical panel (thanks, Chris).
All-in-all it was much simpler than I expected it to be. Now we’re on to drywall, then the finish work.
Yes, Virginia, We are Still Building a House

In the past it’s been my preference to blog about big items done on the house. Major things, accomplished in a set timeframe. However, those sorts of posts usually require a commensurate amount of time to blog about them and in the past few months it’s just felt like too much.
I’ve been thinking about this, […]
Mast Update
Posted in Announcements on Feb 5th, 2008 No Comments »
I just updated the mast image to better reflect the current state of the house - sided and roofed.
The new mast image was taken on 2/3/2008 at about 8:15 AM PST looking South.
Everyone Needs a Home

As many of you know, we brought Joc (pronounced “joss”, short for Jocelyn) into our lives back in August.
Since that time she’s lived in the tent or the trailer with us. When we moved into town, she stayed on the property and for a while we were going up there mornings to let her out […]
Slab!
Posted in Announcements on Nov 2nd, 2007 No Comments »
Well, all the hard work from the last couple months has payed off. We now have a poured slab and we’re ready to move on to the panels.
This picture is from shortly after the slab was poured so it’s still very wet looking.
We’ll put together a more detailed post with pictures from the flurry of […]
