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!)
nik Finishing touches
We are now getting around to the part of your program where Dana’s skills as a decorator really shine. Here is the front foyer with some new art from South Africa and a large clock, naturally.
nik Notes from the hood
Making the range hood in the basement workshop. Finally those tall ceilings downstairs are showing their usefulness!
nik Pretty in Pink
Can you guess which room belongs to the only daughter of the house?
nik Iron and wood
Me (Nik) and the kids put together a little pipe and wood firewood holder shortly after the fireplace was installed.
nik Looks like winter’s here
A slimy slushy dump of snow meant that the summer tires on the truck were mostly useless. You know when you slide backward and can’t even steer in reverse it’s gonna be a good time.
