We’re building a new house. Here are some of the construction stories.
The Branch Fell – 12/20/2023
The branch that we unsuccessfully cut a few weeks ago is finally on the ground. Hogan did get up there last weekend and hand saw it until even the hand saw he had couldn’t get any farther. Luckily nature finally got the best of it and its down. Seeing it on the ground, it is … Continue reading “The Branch Fell – 12/20/2023”
February Weather – 2024
Finally, some construction. They started and finished the excavation of the house. A neighbor told me that the truck towing the backhoe couldn’t get up the snowy road without help when they finished. Sure wish the camera was pointed on the street to see it that day! Hogan Haake
January Weather – 2024
We had our production meeting this month and were hopeful for some fancy construction stuff. There is snow in the video, but no fancy construction. Hogan Haake
December Weather – 2023
Here are the views during December at our property in Alton. Unfortunately, its still just stakes in the ground marking where the house will be. We’ve had to fix a few as the deer didn’t seem to like them. Hogan Haake
November Weather – 2023
We put up a camera to watch our property as it changes. Its just weather going on, but there is something awesome about watching multiple days in a very short time. Hogan Haake
Clearing the Orchard – 12/3/2023

As soon as both kids are out of the house, we can move. This allows them to finish school without having to make … Continue reading “Stakes in the ground – 10/26/2023”
Danforth Fire – 10/20/2023
Going up to Danforth is usually a decent amount of work. But we reward ourselves with big fires from all of the work we accomplish. Today, we had some interesting fire. First off, it was bigger than normal. Sonora enjoyed helping out using the leaf blower to make the flames bigger! Danelle watched on wondering … Continue reading “Danforth Fire – 10/20/2023”
