Building our dream home in the NC mountains

It's almost mid August 2011 and the love of my life and I are getting ready to begin a year long adventure building our dream cabin in the mountains of North Carolina. We're actually in Oregon, as we speak (8/11/11) wrapping up a glorious 10 day vacation with my wife's sister and brother-in-law at their cabin in the mountains.

Why the title "The Maple Tree Adventure"? Our property is on Maple Tree Lane at an elevation of 4200'...sounds like an adventure to us.

We've talked about this for a long time and now that it's a reality, we are excited to start the process. The process should take about 10 months. The build should be completed by next fall 2012.

Our goal is to offer up a blog entry daily. Some posts might include a photo, others may not. The adventure takes my wife and me in different directions for awhile. She teaches school and will finish out her career in June 2012 in Raleigh. I, on the other hand, will head to the mountains to get the cabin rolling in the next week or so (8/16/11).

Keep us in your prayers, leave your comments and plan to visit us next spring 2013.

Office on the run

Today was a welcome relief. I moved from the in town campground to the New River State Park and that's like going from the getto to the Ritz. The move went smoothly. The only hitch is that I have to move around the campground every few days as some of the sites are reserved. It's all good even with the moving.

I'm at the highest point in the campground at 9pm trying to transmit this post so bare with me. I have a photo and will try and send it. If not tonight, because of weak signal, then soon.

The shot is of my executive office...laptop poised with printer in the background. You might have to use your imagination. It's actually a shot of the interior of the camper with office setup.

Have to go because of weak signal.

More comin g,
