from the beginning...

We found our homesite in Bandon, Oregon.

It had been mercilessly cleared (not by us)
It is growing back nicely

For half a year we worked on the houseplans.
The contractor (Rick Howard) helped a great deal
keeping us within building codes, he drew up the final plans.
Shadow approved.

The last photo before building. Stake marks the view(est) corner of house to be.

A drive way, power and septic system were put in.

Site excavation, batterboards to begin foundation work.

Detail of future fireplace.

masons at work.

backfill.

The beginnings of framing.
One of the first steps was to put in all the plumbing.

A nice deep crawlspace. Karl wants to sweep.

The framing happened in a fast 3 week space,
during which time family members visited.
