We’re building a new house. Here are some of the construction stories.

Cleared Orchard and Gravel – 2/13/2024

Posted on May 25, 2024May 24, 2024by hogan

I came out to work from the shed today. When I arrived, I found that the excavation company brought the backhoe to the orchard and pulled out the remaining large trees. While it saved a lot of work, it wasn’t exactly what I thought I communicated for them to do. Most of the debris was … Continue reading “Cleared Orchard and Gravel – 2/13/2024”

No real construction to speak of. Just some back filling against the foundation.

Hole In The Ground – 2/8/2024

Posted on May 8, 2024May 5, 2024by hogan

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever, but construction feels like its finally started. We’ve owned the land for a while and they finally put a big hole in it! By that, I mean digging the foundation. Is it perfect, sadly no. They found non-virgin soil in part of the dig. This means that they … Continue reading “Hole In The Ground – 2/8/2024”

Some exciting construction has begun. The foundation is laid out and poured. This one is longer than previous ones, so use the chapters to get to the interesting stuff 🙂

The Branch Fell – 12/20/2023

Posted on March 31, 2024March 24, 2024by hogan

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

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

Posted on March 26, 2024March 24, 2024by hogan

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

Posted on February 17, 2024February 12, 2024by hogan

We’ve decided to put an orchard on the property where we are building the house. We won’t be planting any trees until we get water to the property, but there is plenty of brush clearing to do until then. There is also a large branch on an oak tree that reaches into the orchard area … Continue reading “Clearing the Orchard – 12/3/2023”
