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!)

The front entrance door was at the wrong end of some rebar sticking out of a concrete pier. Thanks, high winds!

nik We’ve got the power!
Filled in trench with electrical service and Tbaytel line in. Gotta say I appreciated the coordination between Wildon, Tbaytel, and Hydro One during all of this; they actually made things really easy!
