Building a house
by yourself is a test of your patience.
We have been working for our dream - building a timberframe strawbale cottage
since 1999.
It will take few more years to finish as "mortgage free".
We
love working for our future.
Working hard for yourself is completely different from working for somebody
else.
Every piece of your effort will come back to you.
It's the beauty of being owner builders.
The
fun part of construction is just begining.
We did some stucco and plaster.
Can't wait to plaster the rest of the walls next year!
It's about time to hibernate for us.
Enjoy
some images and see you next year!
Bales are up on
west, south and part of the north wall of the cottage.
Stuccoed west side and part north side.
Yes, four windows are in!
Rest of the cottage
will be earth and lime plastered.
Part of the north wall has been roughly earth plastered.
See
Tom's happy face on the day first bale on the timber frame cottage.
