Building a house, and a family, one step at a time.
How can you create a home that’s more welcoming, more inviting, and more people will be blessed by entering? Well we’re not entirely sure, but here’s a sample of what we’re doing to try to create a Home for Hosting. On this site you’ll find how-to’s, stories, a build blog, and product and technique reviews on what we like, what we’d do differently, and what to avoid when building your own home.
(Oh yeah, we are still very much building this site and importing a ton of posts over from our previous home building blog which was pretty haphazard. BUT, we are already getting some pageviews despite not yet sharing it anywhere, so if you happen to stumble upon this site somehow, please check back later when we’ve got it all prim and proper!)
Post work
Cutting and notching some railing posts.
If at first you don’t succeed…
The first of three watering holes; a long process
Kubota time
Boys don’t get older, their toys just get bigger.
Tread heavily
Neighbour and all-around good guy John slicing up some 2 1/2″ thick stair treads out of the fir timbers.
High-sided
This wall stood unfinished through a whole winter and most of the summer. Was nice to get this lift and finish off the otherwise-impossible high side of the house before winter came around again.
