We are embarking on a new adventure, building a cottage in the country. While we have owned several homes (old and new), and done a fair share of renovating, we’ve never built a home from the ground up. This blog is a chronicle about our experience. It is also about change, facing it, embracing it, and meandering through the ups and downs that make up everything in between.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
