Excitement Sets In!

The first piece of timber went up last week. When I looked outside and saw the very first beam of the house it brought a tear to my eye. After two and a half years of trying, we had finally succeeded! There really is going to be a house there!

The sense of pride and joy isn't centered on the fact that we'll have somewhere nice to live, it is entirely the result of achievement. It has taken some serious perseverance and patience to get to this point and now the fun begins.

I'll be heading up to the build every afternoon to see what has happened that day and on the days when nothing happens, I'll just enjoy the view.
