A lot has happened in the last two weeks!
Our home was delivered on September 5th and it was a great day!!!
It was weight lifted off of our shoulders to see our home being hauled down the highway. Right then... we knew we had made the best decision for us. Our building is the maximum size that can be hauled and moved. Which I don't remember the height limit but the 16x40 lofted barn/cabins are just an inch or two over the limit. Not sure how they get away with it but they hauled it for us. We were given several options for color and windows, doors, etc. We chose the metal roof over shingles and picked the color: Burnished Slate. The exterior paint is Toupe and the trim is Tan.

We also went went with the 11 Lite 36" Fiberglass French Doors and chose the 3x3 windows.
Set up and delivery went extremely fast and easy... thanks to Rick Williams. It was really neat to watch them unload our building. I was nervous but also excited! This is our HOME!!!
That very next day we attached the deck and stairs.

As soon as we had the deck attached and able to work off of it... we started framing all the walls. There were just a few changes in the floor plan but nothing major.

The last two weeks have been nonstop busy! Our goal is to have all wiring, plumbing and insulation completed by next weekend. :) There is no grass growing under our feet and don't see us stopping any time soon!
Here are a few pictures of the wiring in progress. Please remember... we don't know what we are doing. We are not experts... but YouTube has made us pretty close to being experts. :)

Hello Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI just found your story via hobowithalaptop. I am super interested as like us you have 5 older children, not 5 small ones. Our youngest is 7, eldest nearing 21. I really want go tiny but the kids are not convinced.
I wish you every success with your house and With your health.
I will be keeping an eye on your blog. Please post lots of photos.
I would recommend a second exterior door. With so many people in the house this looks like a fire hazard to get out safely.
