Building Our House

Our House!

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to build my own house. Too many collective days, weeks, and years spent fixing things across my family’s assortment of houses, wondering what we’ll find behind a wall, beneath the floors. How are these wires run, why isn’t there a plug here. Just why?

For almost as long as I can remember, I have wanted to live on as much land as I can afford, deep in the woods, in the mountains. I’ve always loved the outdoors, nature, and privacy (which is irnoic given I’m documenting this entire process on the internet).

I’ve gone through phases, from traditional stick built, to (in my opinion), an ace looking Geodesic Dome. But I settled on a traditional Log Cabin. It’s timeless, beautiful, and fits with the land and mountain vibe.

Through the years, through weeks of due dilligence, countless research on companies, floorplans, layouts. We picked a company, picked a builder, and had at it. That was in early 2021. We thought we’d be in our wonderful new house by early 2022.

What happened?!

Check in here and read, watch, and see as we build our house, from finding the lot, to site layout, to floor plans, to hopefully moving in. It’s been a long process, we’ll love explain it all!
