I know. I already posted earlier today. But we just found this in the kids room, and I couldn’t pass it up. Awesome.

Met my friend Gavin out at the property early this morning. It was great to just wander around and look at things, and talk about the project. He’s the one who set me on to the original framer (Steve) that I had planned to use.

In other news… um… geez. Not a lot of other news. Still busy [...]

Listened to a couple of interesting sermons on the drive home yesterday. One was by Brian McLaren and the other by Rob Bell. Both were from the Mars Hill sermons page.

It took a long, long visit to the County, but our plans were accepted and the permit process has begun!
I had to drive up to see the Septic Engineer, and get him to sign stuff. He’s a kind of scattered older guy who has been doing it forever and moves at a pace that [...]
