This, we are proud to say, is our house. Well, it soon will be our house, we're thinking it will be done by Christmas or (hopefully) sooner. We bought this lot about 4 years ago and have waited and waited to live here, and now it's hard to believe it's really happening. This is a picture of LeRoy and some friends (I helped too, really!) raking gravel for the concrete to lay on. Ya, it sounds easy enough... With the help of friends, family, subcontractors, and LeRoy's amazing ability to do everything, this is about as 'do-it-yourself' as a house can get. From the plans (I downloaded a free 30 day trial of AutoCAD and drew the house plans), to excavating (LeRoy did the measuring, his friend worked the machine), the concrete pouring was subbed out, then the framing starting tomorrow (LeRoy and his cousin), we are in a bit over our heads, but hopefully we'll survive.

wow - that is amazing, I can't even imagine doing ALL of it! It is stressful enough just building it with a builder doing everything. Good luck, it looks like an amazing lot!! Is it in Ogden? Or where is it?
