We had a 6 year plan. We bought our land, we'd slowly start working on it and by the time Bob retired in 6 years we'd be ready to build. The timing changed when Bob was offered early retirement - and took it - no looking back! This worked out great for us in terms of time & money. We really want to move from our current home and live mortgage free with lower taxes. The plan now is to start building as soon as possible. We've got the house plan drawn, priced logs, have decided where we want the house on the lot and have started clearing the land. This blog will be a chronicle of our homesteading. From the first walks around our property to move in date, we hope to capture it all here in words, photos, & video. Friends & family keep tuned in - you may all be called on for expertise, a strong back, or maybe just to join us on the porch for a cup of coffee!

Getting Grade

Thanks Ed!

Thanks Bernie!
Fill, fill, and still more fill! 240 yards of fill. We got an expert over to help grade and he got out of his truck and said "You don't have enough fill".  You can't spread what you don't have. Today we got 4 more loads. Bob took some grades. Getting closer to pouring that slab. A few weeks behind schedule for the slab, but ahead on log delivery.
