Welcome!
Think of this site as a diary of DIY home construction.
Update January 2009:
Hi friends, I had made my blog private for some time but have decided to open it back up again. I was way too busy with other things. I am happy to report we have moved in but still have much to do to complete things. There is still trim to put up, some grouting to do, a few more floors to finish but more on this later. I am in the process of redoing this blog and just wanted to thank everyone for visiting :)

More wiring
We had friends come over and do some more wiring. By the end of the day we had yet the living room and one other room to wire. It really helps when you have 4 or 5 extra hands :)
