It’s a great feeling.  Today I got to change the name on my Pinterest board from “Forever House” to “Our Home.”  That’s right, the dream is coming to life.  The excavation is complete, footings are poured, and construction is underway!  Stay tuned, We’re going to document the entire build process and give you all of our thoughts on how we made the thousands of decisions it takes to build a house.

This is going to take my blog in a whole new direction.  I won’t have nearly as many home improvement projects to post, because we’re going to build the new one exactly the way we want over the next year.  Here’s a shot at our footings.  If you’re savvy, you’ll see that we’re prepping for a walk out basement.  Woot woot!  

More pictures and decisions to come as we go through this journey.
