March Weather – 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
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”
Family Photos From The Past – 12/21/2023
After mom died in May of 2023, her children collected all of the printed photos in the house.I had wanted to scan these in the past, but mom was always working on them. For years, I’ve wanted access to them to scan and get them shared with others. Hayden had scanned a few with a … Continue reading “Family Photos From The Past – 12/21/2023”

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
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
Hogan’s Chops – 12/13/2024
Its been a while since I’ve done anything crazy with my hair. Several years since its been dyed and my last (and sadly only Mohawk) was in 2006. I had a beard and decided to try something ridiculous. What could be better than mutton chops? Here ya go, laugh it up! It seems to work … Continue reading “Hogan’s Chops – 12/13/2024”
Kansas City Visit – 12/2/2024
Christmas is coming up and I promised my sister, Hannah, that I would work on some plumbing and electrical issues at her house while I stayed there. I knew the visit would be limited in time, so I thought a scouting visit would be a great idea. Lucky for me, Danelle and Sonora joined me … Continue reading “Kansas City Visit – 12/2/2024”
