Re: From Washington to Maine: Building A House for the First Time
I enjoyed reading about you guys in your posts. I feel like you are kindred spirits. My wife Amy and I are moving in May from Salt Lake City to Vermont to build our first home in the woods... You can read more about our story & Utah house project on the projects page, inspired by the recently announced contest.
