Is anyone there????

Greetings.........its been hummmmm 2 years since my last confession....... I mean post.....

Life has changed a little in the couple of years I've been gone....

ONE I had a baby......who just turned ONE. Joy of my life. So there's reason number one I stopped blogging....AND 
TWO we had some funding issues, property waiting to sell, economy..... etc. and that always stops slows progress.  

The good news the waiting caused us to reshuffle our plans and redesign some less expensive solutions. Downsizing means living with less which I believe stings at first but in the end is a better living solution.  We don't all need that much...plain and simple.

((For those that are just coming on board to this blog journey I moved up to the pacific northwest to a small town on the Olympic Peninsula in Port Townsend WA. A desert born Nevadian it was a huge climate change, one that I welcomed with open arms. My journey to build/design a custom house from start to finish for my mother started with a 530 sf studio apartment and garage (which I call the Tree house) it was a wonderful launching off project. I designed, built and completed it with a huge sense of  accomplishment and reassurance that with my design education and prior work experience I fulfilled the gap that I  felt I was missing.  So.....))

Here we are... about to complete the final chapter we have all been patiently been waiting for. We of course have our challenges, some big some small, however starting out at this same point last phase I was sweating bullets unsure of how this big construction puzzle would get put together, this time around even though I got a little person on my back I'm feeling good, excited to tear down the dreaded rat house....yes I said it RAT house and start new......
