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!

Trusses are in

Trusses arrived Friday, Oct 12. We're prepping and will soon be placing them and getting the roof on. Need to get this buttoned up before snow flies. Bob is hanging in there. He'll need surgery - the knee isn't healing. He's going to wait until late winter - too much to do now.

Framing & Clearing




Spent the last couple of days framing the windows & doors and clearing tress for the power lines. We also prepped an area for the trusses - they should be delivered sometime this week.
