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 :)

The sheetrock's the thing

Family came over and helped with hanging the sheetrock. We started today hanging rock in the east side of the house. We've been blessed in having some family members and friends help us with this endeavor. We were able to get two bedrooms done. I try not to think about the fact that after all this sheetrock is hung, then we have to go on to mud and tape and texture the walls. Only then will I be able to paint them.
I'm not sure, but we may be able to finish hanging sheetrock by next weekend, I sure hope so. I am not the one hanging this stuff and I am so sick of it!! I am only doing cleanup, painting, flooring, etc. One thing's for sure, I'm not setting any more move in dates.
