We are really super duper in love with our covered back deck.

Oh, wow, I just love both your blog and your project! I, too, am in my late twenties and building my first house with my husband. We're in southwestern Wisconsin, though, and both my blog and building project are in their infancy. I will be checking up on your project from time to time!

You've done a great job here.
I just stumbled upon your blog! My husband and I are in our late twenties and building our home as well! I just started blogging about our experience to share with our family and friends, as well as a keepsake for us to look back on when this crazy process is over. We aren't very far with construction yet - have our foundation done, but that's about it. I love your projects and hope to be posting some of our own as our site gets moving. I'll keep checking back to see how your amazing house is coming along.

I don't have a lot up yet - only 7 posts, but it's a start!
Happy house building!
love this blog! i also have a blog about our life in minnesota and our new project--building our first house! if you want to check it out: www.treasureandheart.wordpress.com keep up the posts! this is great!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're all on your way there. Kudos! If there is any problem, you can always get back at the blueprint, and maybe find your solutions on whichever level. Build from that, either with software, or instinct, or sound advice. Sending well wishes to an otherwise remarkable project.

Your house is AMAZING! I can't believe your Dad did all the stone himself! So lovely!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what color is the main walls throughout? Is it Restrained Gold by SW? Thanks
ReplyDeleteYour house is beautiful! My hubby and I recently got land and are looking forward to breaking ground. I'm looking forward to reading about your journey. We are in the early stages http://www.casadivillani.blogspot.ca
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment Lauren and good luck to you! It's exciting and scary at the same time :)
DeleteLots of inspiration here! You've done a beautiful job. Glad to find someone blogging through their home build. We are a couple of months into ours. Come visit sometime! https://whatwewaitedfor.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteStunning! You’ve done a wonderful job building this house. It feels like yesterday when you had the groundbreaking, yet here stands your freshly-built gorgeous home. Cheers!

Hi there! My husband and I are thinking about building our house as well. My question, how much was everything put together? And what were some unexpected things?
