Building a house. By hand (and backhoe, impact driver, circular saw...) Just two of us.

The last two years of my life has been a race against the elements to take a beautiful, intact landscape, tear the beejeebies out of it, and build a house. My partner in crime on this crazy project is also the love of my life, and so far we have never experienced such a relationship test as homebuilding. We have done ALL the work ourselves except dig the well and install the solar inverter. It has pushed us physically, mentally, and emotionally, but hey, we got a house out of it! Here’s what it looks like in a nutshell.
