Hello all,

It's been nearly a year since we started clearing trees on our upstate NY property, and we're really beginning to see the fruits of our labor (our contractor's labor, really). We've been maintaining this blog since we bought the property in 2006 - very sporadically at first, more frequently as construction proceeded.

We knew very little about building a house when we started the process, and this forum was invaluable. We now want to make ourselves available to help those just starting out.

Our house is unlike most on this forum in that it's a pretty modern structure. It's a take on the barns of upstate NY, and while it certainly doesn't appeal to everyone's taste, we love it. The interior of the house will have some truly amazing details (hopefully very soon!) so check back often.

A lot of time and effort went into the selection of flooring, windows, cabinetry, fixtures, etc so if you have any questions about good sources for modern products, don't hesitate to ask.

Enjoy!
