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!

Washer & ice maker !
Today i ran the pex line for the ice maker on our new fridge , boy that pex is nice ! I also got the right fittings for the clothes washer lines and it now works ! We still have spakling and painting to do , its tuff with all the boxes from the move. I need to start consentrating on the plumbing , sink , vanity,tub and kitchen sink. I've been busy trying to locate a cheap 4x4 cause the neon is not going to cut it here in the winter. It's been nice this last week i have gotten a well needed breather ! It also snowed to like a blizzard for about a half hour , just a reminder i guess.

The DMV !
We had to run back to Pa. to get the rest of our stuff . Now our house here looks like the " Hoarder show" , stuff everywhere ! Thanks to all that helped , Timmy , Darleen, Lou , Randy , Bubb, Brad , Butch , Nate , Lisa and Carly ! Then we had to go to the "DMV" to change our registrations , license and get tags. Then we picked up our bed frame we bought. I split some firewood to burn in our stove we brought from Pa. As far as worked goes i hooked up the washer upstairs and started putting stuff away. Now that all those things are done and we live here full time, much more work will get done !

Snow ?
We got a dusting of snow the other night , i guess winters at our back door, a knockin' .I hooked up the clothes dryer since its too cold to hang wash out. I hung the two overhead kitchen lights too , since the ceilings painted there. Then our kitchen cabinets were delivered . About 2/3's of our driveway has stone on it , the rest is mud. So the driver backed up to the end of the stone and dropped off the 2 skids . Then i loaded the boxes into my truck and brought them to the house and unloaded them. Our furnace works great , i am enjoying not having to get firewood all the time. But i know we will still burn the woodstove , because after 35 years firewood is part of my life !!! This afternoon i'm waiting on a triaxle of stone to finish the driveway !
