We’ve been spending a bit of time walking around the house, looking at the bare, framed walls and imagining how out stuff will fit into it. Thinking about how we’ll be using the space. Considering if it’s all “right”.
We have come to the realization that the master isn’t quite right for our bed. Amber and […]

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 […]

Last night, we got our first “real” snowfall. I don’t think that what we got before counted as real, it was more of a “practice” session. We got snow both at our apartment and at the house.
Looking down the driveway towards the house.
Lots of the white stuff.
Looking up at the south face.
A possible future christmas […]

The last few weeks have just been a flurry of activity on the house. All the walls are up, the roof panels are on, and the interior rough framing will be finished in the next couple days.
Once that’s all done (and inspected) we’re moving on to roofing and siding. We’ve got two different outfits lined […]

Driving up to the property on Monday morning, it really felt like winter was here as I saw small mounds of snow on the side of the road and the […]

So, I’m finally back - after a month of focus on the house. As you all read in Amber’s previous post(s) we’ve hired some people to help us put the house up. I had originally intended to start putting the house up just by myself and with family during November…that didn’t happen. We did get […]

Progress is being made, although we haven’t had much time in front of the computer in order share what’s happened. My mother-in-law was kind enough to send me a couple pictures she took yesterday and I thought they were good representations of what we’ve done.
First, here’s our start on the house. We got delivery on […]

Well, finally, things are starting to happen! We got a septic permit this week, and we started working on that system. Our building permit should be coming any day now, and in anticipation we’ve started chalking the outline of the house and getting ready to do some foundation work.
Here’s Emma, helping with the […]

Here’s some pictures of our camp, now that we’re nicely settled. Looking at these pictures makes me think of a squatter’s camp (as my brother said) but in person I think it is a bit more attractive.
Here’s the kitchen:
Here’s the “living room”:
Here’s a shot of the garden and the camp beyond:
And here’s Matt and his […]

Here are the pictoral highlights of our moving and settling in process. More commentary will come, but pictures tell the story pretty well.
A last shot of the kids at the door of our old place.
We used a 26 foot […]
