OUR CONTAINER HOME.We wanted to build our own home, but do something different. After lots of research we have built a home from shipping containers.The blog goes back to before we started to present. Now we are close to done but it's been such fun sharing with are followers, we blog everyday things.I have lots of experience in the construction field so i was confident in our ventures. We love what we have done and love sharing it with you. Enjoy!

Rainy days ....
Its been raining here for the last 3 days and i have no pictures. We did get the other half of the tin on with the help of Katie , Orvil and Maryln ! Orvil came down early and up on the roof we went , yep even Katie ! Orvil had the great idea of using a c- clamp and block of wood . By tieing a rope to the clamp , i pull up from the roof and they pushed up from the ground. These sheets are 3' x 20' long and aukward . We all worked really hard and it was near lunchtime, i was getting hungry. Here comes Marlyn with lunch for us . She knew Katie was helping with the roof and wanted to make life easy for her. We are so blessed ! I put up more drywall today and Katie taped and spackled . Tommorrow they come back to fire the furnace. It's been lows of 42 the last two days and we've been using the woodstove ! The insulation is working well cause it was toasty . It should be dry tommorrow and i will take some pictures. I just want to take a minute to thank all our followers ! Because of your interest , i now have a reason to log all this . What a ride this has been and still is . We still don't know when were getting electric, we will use the generator to fire the furnace tommorrow. By the way , Katie still makes great meals with half of a kitchen ! For the record , she really kicked butt on the roof ! We could have never done all that we have without your help , "Thank you so much" !!!
