Comments (58)Our neighbor loaned out her camera, but she found another one, so we got some new pix, yesterday. This picture really shows the Dutch gable and how the shakes will flare over the stone: Boy, are we happy with how the red dirt "complements" the shakes: (ggg) This picture is from the neighbor's property.

Comments (339)Thanks so much for the warm welcome :) it's such an exciting process! We also had our first home built from the ground up but it was a semi-detached (1600 sq ft). We loved the process so much, we did it again for our second home (single family home, 2739 sq ft). I can't wait to have more space! With two little ones, we are running out of space right now (we both love to be at home, have hobbies that are home based (I quilt and bake and my husband loves woodworking).
