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 :)

From Square One!! Four hours into the first day of construction

The crew showed up bright and early to enclose the home for us. They will be doing the steel framework as well as covering it and installing the windows and doors. We've got to do the rest.
This is 4 hours into the first day of construction. This crew works quick!

Contractor came by and we bought windows and doors
Contractor who is to enclose our home came by tonight. I have to finish picking out the windows and doors and then he and his crew will get started. We went to Lowe's and bought 9 windows and 2 doors. Entry door and the back door. Can hardly believe this is now going fast since the dirt work went so slow.
