One year later...

It's hard to believe, but a year has passed since we started building. The house is done except for some punch-list items; and the landscaping was installed just before Michigan's freezing weather hit. Although my intent was to document the building process in real time, that just didn't work out. So instead, I'm going to look back and try to convey the significant points we hit along the way.
