Our house which has been in progress for nearly 7 years is being built totally from scratch and salvaged materials as a labor of love for his family by my very own Carpenter. The first house was "The House that Roger Built" as a wedding gift for his bride. This one is being built by the whole family with Carpenter as chief engineer-architecht-jackofalltrades-foreman and a.k.a. Poppee, Carpenter's Wife as cook-sawdust sweeper-decorator-finishing touch gal a.k.a as Marmee and our crew of helpful and sweet children as helpers. We are using a TIMBERKING Sawmill to mill the lumber for much of the house. NO paint, NO carpet - LOTS of wood! Carpenter loves this. I'm growing to love it too. This blog will be a look at the process, the progress, and how we did it - ehem...are doing it. We are in a never ending process it seams. But that is life - a journey - not a destination! No promises that anything will be in a steady timeline (We are years into this already!) but bit by bit the blog will fill with the process of building from scratch - where we've been and where we are today - Home is where the heart is!
