Another of my "Hobby Projects"

[Faster horses]

What is the age of my house? Well, I really don't know. It was moved in here a long time ago. Like it is really old...with a steep roof...like so the snow could slide off the roof a long, long time ago.

When I was in Sheridan I tried to find some homes with steep roofs to see what had been done to them, and believe me, I saw everything imaginable. I looked at so many I got confused! I am afraid if we put in windows that point up towards the peak of the roof, it will accentuate the steepness. Also, it is a long ways from the peak to the ground, since we are putting in a daylight basement. I want something to break up the distance. We are kind of on our own with this project and it has taken forever. I finally have said that it is like Noah building the ark...it really is disgusting that it has taken so long, but I am trying to be patient. Nothing will be gained by getting upset , but I am getting closer to the END OF MY ROPE!

Remember when you get to the end of your rope your left hanging.

It took us 7 years to build our house.....I think the longer it takes the longer your rope grows....We did it all ourselves except havin the foundation poured and had someone put the decking on and havin carpet layed. Everything else we did ourselves as we could afford it. during those 7 years there were plenty of heated arguments, lots of shopping around, and we got lucky alot of the time and found discounted prices on materials that we wouldn't have got to do if it had went up in a hurry. There's still things that need doin on our house...and eventually they'll get done (I hope) but it gave me the chance to decide how I really wanted somethin to look rather than hurryin thru it and then wishing I'd done it differently.
