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!

Our last log has been laid!

With completion of the furnace room last Sunday we laid the last log for the house. The heavy work is done.  Next steps are power washing & staining.


Fist logs for furnace room





 Leveling the logs on the door frame




That's the last log!

Whoa Grandpa!

We had Skye a couple of weeks ago for the afternoon and evening and she was helping Grandpa on the bulldozer - for a short time. She didn't like the bumpy ride!


She decided she liked playing with butterflies more!
