Building Our Custom Home

   

When I wrote in my newsletter that Athena and I were building a custom home, many of my readers wanted to know more of the details.

So, I thought I would share in the process, giving tips, ideas and perhaps a little inspiration along the way. Hopefully by sharing our home building experience it will also help others avoid any pitfalls we might encounter along the way.

Also, check out the process of designing, installing and improving our romantic gardens.
