We made an enormous amount of progress today - more than we ever could have imagined!Macky sent a contractor to us this morning which wrote about earlier...we were a bit concerned because Macky told us during one of our last conversations that it's not possible for...
A change of pace – ie. Macky is back
This morning we had made plans to sleep in a bit to recover from all the back breaking labor yesterday. However, at 8AM sharp the phone rang and it was Macky.He apologized profusely for not calling and not being there as promised and gave a few more details regarding...
I thought demolition was over
On our quest for tasks to tackle before Macky returns, we continued with demolition today. Our revised plans now include a built-in closet - however, this one is a bit different. The built-in closet will be created by taking in a "dead space" between the guest house...
Please join us in welcoming Jake’s Chair
We have talked about Jake's Chair quite a few times on this blog, but so far there has been too much going on around here to take the time to actually build one. Now that construction of the guest house has kind of been on hold for the past two weeks we have finally...

That’s it, we’re calling in the troops
After spending nearly 2 hours mounting a small piece of dry wall to the ceiling and then nearly knocking ourselves out when we attempted to mount a full sized piece of drywall we are calling in the troops. We have realized, that just the two of us can not mount the...
A built in closet…Are you serious?
Yesterday we went out to the stables and reevaluated our floor plan situation. We don't have a lot of space to work with, with great aspirations and we where beginning to wonder how it would all flow.Next to the stables there is an empty area still covered by the...
It’s been really quiet from our side
