16. So there's how much time before weather makes building difficult?

DO let us know, along the way, please. LOVE to follow your exciting project. Thanks

:hi:

20. weather here is usually good until January. There has been a little rain and cooler temps

not enough to hold up progress. *fingers crossed*

9. I can see room for at least a thousand chickens!

:woohoo:

Hey, welcome to rural living! May your house be blessed! :hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. thanks CMW

:D

not likely a thousand...maybe 5 or so and a rooster...one of these days. Possibly by next year.

10. My dear Tuesday Afternoon!

Oh wow! You are building a house!

That will be one of the most wonderful, aggravating, amazing things you will ever do! We did that too, and it is almost as exciting as having a baby!

Ours took 16 months, and I sure hope yours won't take that long...We had lots of delays.

I didn't notice if you have a Journal, but if you do, may I suggest you put all of these threads in there? They will be so cool to look at, down the road!

I cannot wait for the next installment!

Good luck, and have a ball, sweetie!

:hug:

14. This should go up fairly quickly --

a simple off frame modular is all. Still, it is a huge undertaking for me.

Thanks for the well wishes :hug:

The foundation makes me think of some ancestral lodge house.

Be sure to leave a big ventilation hole for the smoke from
the cooking fire to escape.

Following the progress should be fun. Thanks for sharing
this with us.

17. Way to go!

I've been out of the loop too long.
I thought you bought a house.
Building sounds wonderful. It will really be totally all yours. :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. I looked at a model home and then I modified the floorplan and decided to build

I will do an update thread probably on Sunday, maybe Monday. :)

22. Now I understand my confusion.

I'm way blonder than I used to be and sometimes I live up to the dumb blond outlook.

In this case ~ it's just a case of not being around enough to know what is going on.

:thumbsup:
