Building a New Home

Our life it about to take on a whole new adventure. In a few weeks, we are going to plow over the 160+ year old farm house you see here and build a new one in the same location. I spent 4 months drawing the floor plan. Just before Christmas, I took it to a designer to have him make the construction drawings. We spent January interviewing builders and decided on 3 of them to bid the project. It is currently out for bid and we are waiting to hear back.

We have begun packing up our household goods. We will move everything out into one of the two barns (the old dairy barn or the new shop/office - pictured above). We will sleep in my office and cook & shower in the 5th wheel trailer while construction goes on. It's estimated to take about 6 months. So our hope is to be moved back in sometime in October.

So stay in touch with us while we build our new home!
