Happy Holidays! It’s a few days past Christmas and we’re still feeling festive as we head into New Year’s Eve.
For us Christmas is a time to take a breath, enjoy more uninterrupted family time, get some skiing in and this year...to start installing cedar in the entryway and below a few windows! More on that in a bit…
Last year, we were tarring and insulating the foundation exterior walls, so the cedar project is a definite step in the right direction.
Read MoreAugust and early September have been focused on trying to get the 9,290 home closer to being weathered in. The nights are getting cooler and per usual, we’re racing against the clock before we have to shovel snow again.
Read MoreWhen we last left off in June, the steel beams for the roof supports had just arrived!
So much has changed since that time and the full shell of the house is in place! One positive thing about waiting a few weeks to do a blog update is that it feels like we’re making a lot of progress! Please, no one take me from this happy space. Ha!
Read MoreThe day we've been waiting for is almost here!
Our SIP panels (structural insulated panels, aka - the exterior walls and roof) are arriving next week!
We'd be delighted to have you join us on the job site for a good old fashioned family home barn raising.

But, we also were able to enjoy some amazing skiing and since we can’t do anything about the weather, we decided to just keep shoveling and take the opportunity to play in the snow whenever we could.
Read MoreAnother great milestone! We finished the sheathing on February 26! Just in time before it started dumping snow in Summit County. Whew.
Read MoreMaybe it’s just me, but I had NO IDEA that there were so many steps involved in creating a foundation for a home. I had always thought that you dug a hole, poured some concrete, put some more dirt around it and snap, done. Surely the whole thing only takes a couple of weeks, right? Well, surprise Cory, that’s not how it goes...
Read MoreWe’re 7 days from Christmas! Ideally we’d have our foundation totally completed and backfilled by then, but at this point it’s more likely we’ll be welcoming 2019 with that milestone. We’ll take it!
Read MoreNovember was filled with lots of progress! With today being December 1, we figured we better summarize what we were up to the last month.
Read More#1 question we’ve been asked lately…”so have you broke ground yet?” Our answer has been “we’re getting so close, we should be hearing back on the building permit soon!”
Read MoreAfter nearly a year since our first crack at our house design and floor plan, we're excited to share the basic floor plan and exterior design!
