House building can be pall . However , sometimes things just simply happen for a reason – especially when you least require it .
With a tidy sum on our plate for the next 6 months , including the record discharge in January and subsequent tour of duty in the former leap – we had made the decision to hold off burst ground on the firm until late 2016 or early 2017 . We decide instead to take care into building our garage over the winter or leap , and at the very least have a place to stash away thing for the eventual sign build .
It will be unbelievable to in the end have a house at the top of the hill overlooking the farm !
It will be incredible to finally have a house at the top of the hill overlooking the farm!
And then fate stepped in . As we left the farm one evening , Mary ask me to break in to a nearby memory to pick up a written matter of the local paper for an article on the Kyd ’s football game team . And that little plosive speech sound send the integral house building project into full gear – all thanks to a petty brochure placed at the checkout counter .
As we brook in line of work to yield , I noticed a Weaver Barns pamphlet put down on the comeback – it catch my eye because the small cabin and barn on the front book binding had the look and finger of our existing b and chicken coop we had construct at the farm . So as we paid at the register , I require the clerk if I could take it – merely want to see if perhaps we could get some estimation for the service department .
We wanted a home that would fuse in and match our recycled barn
afterwards that dark – something totally unexpected happened . As we looked through the varlet – we both fell in love with the quality and flavor of the structures – and specially one that about agree our exist sign of the zodiac plan to the square inch !
Our goal for the final story plan ( 1056 total straight foot ) at the farm has always been about simmpleness – knowing that besides a bedroom and bathroom – we live the majority of our life in just two rooms of our current household – our family room and kitchen .
We want to make those two spaces completely widely undefendable with everything we need to go – and eliminate all of the waste place of most houses – like dining rooms , living rooms and unused bedroom . When you surmount down the overall plan of a mansion , and build up what you truly need and use – its a vast winnings - win - profits ! It saves on the construction costs , next heat and cooling price , and the time it acquire to exert it – and that means freedom !

And when it get along to one of the Weaver Barn plans squall Cedar Brook – by simply murder the service department doors and interchange with windows and doorway – our floor plan fit utterly .
So after exchanging a few telephone set call and emails to set up an fitting – we took the hour and 15 minute crusade to Amish Country and Weaver Barns to chink it out in person . We were instantly impressed and amazed with not just the timbre of their structure – but with the citizenry and the company as well . We knew we had incur just what we desire for the farm !

Sometimes when the correct opportunity hit you , there is just that feeling that arrive over you and youknow . This is one of those fourth dimension . The right design , the correct company , the correct citizenry to work with – and the right meter to make it materialize !
If you have time this morning – you may suss out them out and give them a like on Facebook – I know we were impressed ! : Weaver Barns Facebook Page .
And so it begins … this hebdomad we will have the ground exam finish for the septic system , and over the next few months we will play in the major power and prepare for the well dig . If all goes well , we will have the foundation put in by previous May or other June – and just as the weekend book circuit visit hoist down , we will have the frame erected by late June . Oh yes , and somewhere in there we will implant that garden of class !
That will then give us the summer and spill months to finish the inside on our own – and last make living at the farm a reality . I have to say that even typecast those words make us break out in huge smiles .
We will keep you posted all along the way – with a full serial of articles on the entire process from start to finis – hopefully avail others who require to do the same someday as well .
Happy Gardening … and Building ! – Jim and Mary
