This first picture is where we started our dream and will continue to blog until it is finished. Please post with ideas and good usable information as we are taking baby steps to build a home from very little money and a lot of help from our friends. It starts out with telephone poles that were given to us by the electric company which were being replaced on the lane of our son's property. Then the frame was built with trees from our son's farm and 2x4 where needed. We wanted our tent to withstand many types of weather conditions as living in the northeast gets quite cold and the winters can be long.
Next is our tent which I found on Craigslist at a steal of a deal for only $400. a Cabelas's cabin tent 12x17 from a party who wanted it to go to good use, I guess my story was pretty cool or I might not have gotten it. Oh yeah the tent had 2 mouse eaten holes from being stored in a barn which I repaired with the kit that came with it. The tent was new other than those holes. The guy bought the tent and then just stored it, can you believe this. I checked the prices and it was by far the best thing I could have found.
Affordablilty is the key to the reason we are doing this building project. We were married 3 years ago September and at our ages we thought it would not be practical to buy a home and the fact that we are self employed.
