FF Through the Breaking Ground Phase

Recently my eldest daughter Greta asked me if I was interested in starting a blog.  At first I was hesitant.  Who would read it? What would I write? What is the point anyway?  She convinced me that a) it doesn't matter if anyone reads it, b) I have plenty to write about, and c) the point is to document and share my daily projects!! Well all questions were answered and I am ready to get started.  Here is a short history by pictures of the house from 2007-2012 and skipping a lot in between.

September 2007 we broke ground in Elizabethtown, NY.



This was about 5 years ago now.  There are a million of blog gems that have happened since the ground breaking that I would like to cover.  But there is no time now.  

Not too long after the ground breaking the walls came up.




























And then the stone work was started (2008-2012!!) All by hand, Husband Carl's hand.






All the while, I progressed through various interior and exterior projects...these projects are what I want to focus my blog on.  Also, when I am not working away on my current project, I LOVE to be outside climbing mountains, riding my bike, or running.  So most likely I will post a thing of two on these topics as well.

More to come soon!

    Good morning! Here I am - after the prodding of our eldest daughter. Of course today I must get some photos of our current project - tiling! Moving from a 3200 square foot space to 1000 square feet means utilizing every inch. The basement was going to be a garage and storage. Now it is going to be an office and our current project - the Adirondack Escape Suite! The heat is on because our first guests are arriving just days after Christmas!! We are hoping to finish the tile this weekend. Pics to come later today! :-)
