Status 1 month in

We started our project about a month ago with our land purchase. We are currently waiting for the final plans and once we see those we'll have a construction schedule and start going vertical. The unforeseen site prep work wasn't a killer but we will need even more dirt for the back yard. So, as of today we are a little behind schedule and over budget. I believe we can make up some time when we get started.

Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog! We have alot of new changes happening and wanted to share one journey. This NEW house, instead of This Old House. We are trying to build a energy efficient, LEED certified home. Our hope is that this house will be one way to help our budget and the Earth. Hope you enjoy watching it grow with us. If you're a friend that lives in the area we'll try to get our contractors and their information up to date if you would like to contact them.

Enjoy.
