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.

Wanna play?

Cozy by the fire





Think of a number between 1 and 10.



6 is the winner!

That's 6 degrees outside.

Decided not to play?

More coming,

p.s. if I don't post after today, please call mountain rescue to come looking for me ;^)

p.p.s. It's actually beautiful and is just part of Mother Nature's agenda. As long as I have a warm fire, hot coffee and beautiful wife by my side, then I'm happy... 2 out of 3 ain't bad!
