Our idea so far for the house...

Here's what we hope our land will someday hold...

What the front of the house will look like.

First floor plan

Second floor plan.

I think that the house will face away from the road. The driveway will come through the woods and make a half circle into the garage. This way we'll have a big front yard with no view of the baseball field. Eventually we'll do a deck off the back (where the french doors are). With the house situated so that it faces away from the road, we'll have shade there in the evenings so we won't roast while having dinner outside!

This is a few years in the future. We're doing a large garage that will be our apartment until the house is built this fall.

And more new pictures

Finally, spring comes to the North Country. We've been able to get a lot of clearing done.

Matt's done a ton of work in the past few weeks.

The driveway will wind through the woods and emerge between these bushes.

Oh stink, time really does fly!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost two months since I posted new pictures. Matt's been doing a ton of clearing over at the land. I think that what is cleared now will be it. We don't want too much lawn to mow.
Here's pictures since the last time I posted.


The burning brush pile. Luckily everything was still wet so there wasn't much worry about grass fires.




Our dog, Finney. She used to be all black and white. No brown, you wouldn't know she was the same dog!
