Our adventure begins!

As you all know we have been working on our BC property for a number of years. In 2010 we constructed a little cabin that we now stay in when we are out at our property.

This year we are VERY EXCITED because we are finally going to start our first major building project.  We will be starting to build our garage, which has a loft apartment on the top.  We hope to have it completed to lock-up, meaning the the structure will be framed and sheathed, shingled, all windows and doors installed, basically it can be locked up.  Next year we would like to complete the exterior finishing and get started on the interior. Here is how it will look from the front.

We are just selecting our contractor for the build and then we will start firming up the dates.  Here is a look at where the garage will be placed on our property.  This hillside will be excavated so the garage can be pushed right back into the hillside.  The stakes are the approximate outline of the building itself.

We are heading to our property later in March to trim our fruit trees, remove some trees we had felled last fall and just check things out. I will provide an update after we return!
