Welcome!

Posted on | August 24, 2008 |

If you’ve just arrived here, you’ve found a site where we will be blogging over the next year or so about the design, construction and interesting issues that come up as we build our new house. 

For more information about why this site exists, check out the about page. 

Our main interests with this project involve designing a house that is substantially more “livable” than our current house and reducing our environmental footprint.
