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!

That's a knee immobilizer...

on Bob's right leg. No, he didn't do it working on the new house. He had this little accident working on the old house. Long story short, he lost his balance while on the tailgate of the truck, tried to get it back by stepping into the wheelbarrow and went "ass over teakettle" onto the ground. This occurred Monday evening. Tuesday AM we went to the emergency room at Cottage Hospital. No broken bones, lots of swelling (on his leg Guindon) and he has to go back on Tuesday for a possible MRI. We were going to finish up the log laying this weekend - I took off Thursday & Friday so we could finish up, the weather is supposed to be beautiful too. Oh well. Now my task is to keep him occupied so he doesn't find some way to wield his chainsaw in that brace. Maybe we'll take a road trip on Friday....
