First Photo of House

Build Site (pink flag center right)

Here is where the story begins...  almost.  The story actually began about 5 years ago when we moved to this place.  It is beautiful here but our house is really a garage that was meant to live in only temporarily while a house was being built. So here we are with a house that is  just an idea.  Partly because we did not now what we wanted or if we were even going to stay here. Partly because funding has been somewhat unpredictable.  Now we are in a position to build, without a mortgage, if we do most of the work ourselves.  So, we've decided to build a metal shell, on the site in the photo above, then finish the inside like a home.   Each little step we take makes me more and more excited.  Like ordering windows and finding somebody to erect the building the way we want it to be done.  It seems that building a metal house on pier and beam is not the norm.
