I thought I would put the progress pictures here instead of the General.
First few are of the foundation the last is of the first bit of framing. More to follow.....

Thanks John! Yeah there is a nice "mountain" on the higher side of the house.

2 bay garage? I like the look of those but like the function of a full bay door better.

Which rooms are where?

Well we have the 1 big door now and it is nice but I figure with the barn you see in the background I will not need to be having that much in the main garage. There is also a single bay garage closest to the bottom of the pictures.

I will work on a floor plan and get it posted.

Good to go on the barn. I like the separate single bay as well.

We have pretty much made it so far. I am usually manic about stuff like this, but I have been very calm and just let it go as it goes. More pics after I stop tonight.

My wife is not always very excited about projects, but when she saw the house yesterday she could not stop smiling! That I think made me happier than anything else.
