Welcome!

I will be documenting the construction of our pole barn home. We decided to build because we had been in the same mobile home for many years. The main reason I started this blog was to help others. When we first started out, we looked for information to help "Do It Yourself" people such as us but didn't find much on the web. With the exception of the concrete foundation work and enclosing the structure, we are doing all the work ourselves. But we have been blessed with family members and friends who have helped us a great deal. We broke ground in July 2006 and we moved in October 2007. If you want to read more about the details of our plans, click here.
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 :)

Rain



It's been raining here on and off for days. Glad we're working inside. I've been a little under the weather and didn't go out while hubby and son were working tonight, so I'm not sure what they did. I'm going out at first light and check things out. They were working on hanging sheetrock in the bedrooms but may have moved on to something else. We're going to be hanging drywall this weekend in the living room. I hope to have them mud and tape and texture a room or two very soon so I can get busy painting and flooring at least some of the house.
This photo I took today is from the kitchen looking toward the living room.
