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 :)

Flooring, Painting, and Plumbing

Yesterday was spent painting the half bath. The vanity and fixtures in that bathroom are already installed. The only thing we have to do in there now is put in the toilet. I helped the husband do a little work in the main bath afterwards. He was making a brace for the tub fixtures.

Today I put the 4th coat of polyurethane on the living room floor. I started around 3:00 in the afternoon and finished around 8:00 this evening. Tomorrow we are going to lowes to get a lot of stuff we need to complete the plumbing in kitchen and bathrooms. Pictures soon.
