My 365 Days Photo Journal

This 365 Day photo journal is inspired by others that I have seen. Mine will be about things I "see" every day, but I'm going to add a little twist and share pictures of our home - the construction to the finishes and even including the things that aren't done. To do that, I need to give you a little history.

For the history of the Cabin, click on the link below. That will help you understand where we are going now. A little more than ten years ago, Mike's parents suffered a severe car accident that required them to have full time care. Our family of six moved into the cabin (note: this was a 40' X 16", 3 room structure). Needless to say, we needed more room, which initiated the "journey" of building our house ourselves. We decided to tear down old buildings and build ours from the reclaimed lumber. We did buy some materials, like windows, doors, bolts, screws, nails and a little bit of lumber, but most of the house was built with "old stuff".

So, hope you enjoy the journey!!!
