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!)

I wanted to do more shovelling anyway.

The windiest corner of the house happens to also be the master bedroom. On the advice of the neighbour with the spray foam company, we made sure this corner was well protected.

The finished octagonal roofing nightmare. There was supposed to be a small saddle framed in the valley, which may eventually have to be added, but for now seems to be channeling water away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
