We decided to create a blog of our home building experience so that friends and family can see what's happening. It will also be cool to be able to look back at the process when we are finished.
We are building a home through USDA Rural Development. It is a self help program to help bring families into rural areas and to also help facilitate home ownership to low income families. We applied in July of 2008 and were accepted into the program this last winter.
As of now, there are 4 other families in the program with us, but there will eventually be 8 in total. Each family is required to put in 30 hours each week building the houses. We help each other building the homes and no one can move into their homes until all of the homes are finished.
We were hoping to start building in May or June, but it looks as though we won't begin construction until August.
