"How exiting, how fun, how delightful, you must be excited." All things we've heard. And all true, but building and designing your own home (even if you only do a section of the designing) is an exausting experience. The decisions number in the thousands... well hundreds. The paper work fells a whole grove of birch. And aspirin companies become slightly richer.

Here you hear our tale of our homes, ones which we designed in conjunction with Yankee Barn Homes, a wonderful timberframe kit company, and Sharon Cochrane our delightful and talented (no she didn't pay me) kitchen and bath designer.

The images of the elevations are the property of Yankee Barn and Jennifer, Greg and myself. Therefore the large images are shown in flash, and all are watermarked. Anyone without the flash plugin can get it by at Adobe's site.
