Its getting there! I get more and more excited every time something new gets done. Next is insulation, wiring, and then plumbing.
Till I post again....Love thy Earth!!!
Hopefully this blog will be a wonderful description of the homestead my husband and I are building for ourselves as empty nesters in our forties. Its gonna be an adventurous ride for sure... hang on tight!
I love it when you can document the entire building process. We did this with our house and I made a notebook with each step of the way from total woods, the clearing, excavation, etc. It's fun to look back on years later.
ReplyDeleteOne hint, if you are considering wall mounted towel racks in the bathroom, and know where they will be positioned, have him put some bracing behind it so the screws actually hit some solid wood. It will keep it from trying to pull away later.
Kathy..got the towel rack thing covered. My husband was brought up being a home builder and that was what he did till a couple of years ago. We are starting over financially for sure, but this is about the 40th house we've built over the years. I guess I should have explained that at the beginning of my blog. This one is a lot different because we aren't building huge, fancy and expensive. We are using lots of salvaged items and seeing how cheap and green we can build it. Plus we are scaling down a lot in size. This house is literally half the size as the last house we built. Definitely having a huge yard sale to get rid of a ton of stuff. Thanks for following along and for the comments!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are getting to live many folks dream - building your own house. Great pictures!
