So here we are. We've been dreaming about this house for years, casually mentioning to each other every so often, "When we have a house can we have. . . ." And now it's really happening. It's terribly daunting but also wildly exciting. We're ready for the challenge and the hard work. Ready for the frustration and inevitable tension. And certainly ready to have a home at the end of all of this that we dreamed, designed, and built with our own two hands (and plenty of help and support, too, of course). Won't you follow along with us?
