Great blog mpro! How did you set up the gopro camera outside? Is it mounted in a tree? Are you worried of anyone stealing it while you're not there (or are you always there)? Such a fantastic way to capture the progress of the build. Thanks!

Thanks Stephanie_sara. I'm the worse half of mpro, and in charge of the tech. We put a battery powered game/trail camera whose battery lasts about 4 weeks for most of the time lapse shots. It takes a shot about every 5 mins. I'm risking it getting stolen out of the tree, but you have to get on a ladder to get to it and it's camo/not obvious. The GoPro gets hooked on whatever I can find for "shorter" sequences (Like my slab pour which will be up later this week).

North Ga House

Awesome advice! Thanks!! Maybe you should blog about that next :)

Me and my boyfriend are building a McDonald Jones Nova..

We are first home builders and have used heaps of other people's blogs as inspiration so I decided to start my own..

Its also our first home we have built!

I still have lots of info to add but here is mine It's hard to find time to do the projects and write about them :) DIY HOME DECOR BLOGS

I am about to start a journal of my home building process. You can find at http://www.clairemareehomes.com

We have begun our downsizing empty nester blog. Share in the fun. https://downsizemaybe.wordpress.com

I started this blog to share the build process my husband and I are going through! There's a house on the property that we will be living in during construction and it is rough! https://loeschhomestead.wordpress.com

Awesome blog Bri!

Thanks Stephanie!

Thanks!

Wow! That is a big job. I will show it to Jim, my husband. Is it finished?

Okay, I just resurrected my home building blog this week. I started it this time last year, but didn't really get committed on the build until I signed paperwork this past February. At the time, I kept it private -- you could list ten friends to look at it, but they all had to make WordPress accounts to do so. Which really was NOT effective. I've just gone public today. I haven't posted in it for a LONG while until this week, but now I'm ready to just GO with it.

Rustic Earth Drop on by!

I checked it out. Pretty, pretty land!

I really like some of the ideas and experiences everyone has shared on these posts.
With that said, as a personal experience, if anyone is looking to inform themselves about home building or remodeling, there is a very interesting Ebook that could help you out on any doubts you might have on the matter, that way you can avoid the common mistakes or misconceptions that people might make while building/remodeling a home. Its a free download, so you should definitely check it out.

We are moving along (slowly) on a diy building project.

Hello. We haven't started construction yet, still just in the plan phase. We are shooting to start our build early next year depending on the winter weather forecast. But for now, we have documented our journey beginning with the open house that started it all. Hope you enjoy! www.buildingcasavega.com

This is a great thread! I'm new to this site and am looking forward to reading about all of your home building journeys. My hubby and I purchased land last spring, have completed our own design, city planning and are looking forward to getting started on our French chateau inspired bungalow in the spring once the Canadian winter ends. Feel free to check out my blog at http://casadivillani.blogspot.com Instagram is @casadivillani

We are living in a school bus with 4 kids on the land while we build. We're about six weeks out from our finish date, hopefully!

Hey! WE have moved our blog site to ChicagoNow, the media site of the Chicago Tribune. It is still about building our house, but also a whole lot more. So if you are a building, or a parent, or an empty nester or a music lover, or just like a fun read, come and read at

I post about DIY stuff, home building tips and latest projects and design ideas!

We just started a few months ago on a custom home.

WE are at the half way point! Hallelujah! Here's our current blog.

Great idea, Sweet reverie! Four year old thread that's still providing value! Thanks to everyone for sharing.

Shameless plug because I'm actually still updating and we are 1 month from move in! 1850s row house here. Www.greenwoodframed.com

We're so close to moving in...we can't wait!

This is such a great thread! I bought land last year and have drawn up a floor plan. I'm now working with an architect to create actual plans and hope to break ground around the end of this year. In the meantime, I'm planning lots of the decorating and design elements for the various rooms.

My blog can be found here: AngieBuildsAHouse.com.

Yep! My blog is also on my personal/business/portfolio website (I'm a web designer for a living), so sometimes certain posts will be related to design or personal finance (I've made some national headlines for my student loan debt paying off journey, which I tracked on my blog for 19 months).

However, you can find everything house related via the category "Wildernest" - http://www.thewiredlife.net/blog

I also have a Facebook page for it for smaller things that I don't put on the blog - https://www.facebook.com/WildernestMA/

Oh, this is an awesome thread! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's build projects. My husband and I bought a lot by the ocean and started building last fall. The garage is pretty much done, and now we're hard at work on the house. We had someone pour the foundations and we hired a crane operator to lift the roof trusses up onto the garage walls, but otherwise we're doing all the work ourselves. I'm pretty deadly with a caulking gun and nail gun, and used a chop saw for the first time last week :-)

P. Thank you for posting your blog. I, too, am currently building in Cedar City, so I can relate to your story. We are building owner/builder and broke ground in August. It's been a much bigger challenge than I expected, but things are moving along. Your house is looking great by the way.

I grew up in an area of Southern California that had many Eichler neighborhoods and many, many, MCM homes. I think you designed yours very well. Good luck with the rest of your build.

P. Thanks for posting your blog! I just read the whole thing! We are about to break ground on our house in Heber City, Ut. and your blog was great to read through!

I started a blog about the journey (and mishaps lol) of renovating my husband's 100 year-old childhood home... I also include some fun DIY projects as well if anyone would like to check it out, it's http:/www.IncreaseTheFancy.com/

It was a long journey! I have content for a post a week! lol Enjoy!

I'm just stunned that there are 2 people on this board who are building in Cedar City!!! I've never run across 2 people who even know where Cedar City is!!!!
