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!

We beat the snow!

Last weekend Bob & his brother Kenny got the roof finished. Another milestone completed - and before the snow arrives. This was much harder than we thought. Even though it's one story, the pitch is enough that it's difficult to walk up and the tin is slippery in the cold weather. Thank god it's done. Every time Bob was up there I was praying for his shoes to be like glue. Now maybe he'll  take a break - he needs it. But he's also hard-headed. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
