Our House
When I was growing up I remember riding around with my parents in our old yellow Chevy Luv truck looking at property for sale all around the Wake County/Franklin County/Granville County area. In 5th grade my Mom picked me up from school and told me they'd purchased a piece of property (thank goodness, no more spending weekends riding around looking at LAND). Of course little did I know the REAL work was about to begin. To make a long story short we cleared a spot for the house, dug and poured the foundations, laid a lot of block and about 46,000 brick, put up some stud walls, ran the plumbing and electrical, put up some sheetrock, and just when we were getting close to making it comfortable to live in, I moved out and went to college.
Fast forward a few years and all the stuff that happened in between... and in June of 2006 my parents asked us if we were interested in buying their house (8.68 acres and 3700 square foot solar brick house - not quite finished but mostly done). They were to move to their house in Burnsville, NC - tired of having to take care of two houses. We closed on the house on July 14th, 2006 and we moved in on November 4th, 2006.
The pictures document pieces and part of years of work on building the house while I was growing up.
