Working on a few details after throwing a tarp over the structure made me feel like I was building a fort. Sitting up top in the loft is just like being a kid in a tree-house and it makes me giddy.

I cut most of the pieces for the porch and it makes a huge difference to see it there.

Seems like each board added just gets me a little closer to my very own home. What an amazing feeling - to know when I'm done that I know where every piece of it came from, and that I built it myself with the love and support of my friends and family.

I can't wait until I'm done when I'll throw a party - and everyone who donated something or helped build part of it can come and show off their part in the process.
