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!)
Vanity vanity
Another look at the bathroom vanity we built using leftover timber pieces and iron pipe. Ikea Braviken sink and faucet.
Grime-time
Chip helps put together a vanity for the basement bathroom. We used some leftover timbers for the vanity top and iron pipe for the base.
Bathroom in a box
The basement is otherwise very unfinished, but due to some family needing a place to stay we quickly put together a bathroom downstairs.
Mini-me’s
Milly helped with the basement shower by pulling the tile spacers out.
Swingset at sunset
A cedar daybed I made for Dana for her birthday. When there are so many pieces of wood lying around and tools and saws of every kind all over the place, it’s easy to build and hide a birthday present in plain sight.
