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!

Catching up...

It's been awhile since I last posted so I've got to get things up to date. All the windows are in. We just completed closing in the porch overhang. We're still sanding but we're past the halfway point now. Bob has been having issues with the backhoe so we still aren't ready to run the power from the pole to the house - he needs to finish the trench. Hopefully that'll happen in the next few weeks.

No buyers yet for the Haverhill house. I guess the market is still pretty slow. We've transplanted more flowers and lilacs - we won't have to purchase anything once we move in. Anyway - enjoy the photos!
