My daughter is wanting to replace her older vehicle and, as I suspected, many of the older ones were destroyed. This leaves only newer models available. The cost of the new ones is stifling! (Gasp!) But, I'm sure I am speaking for many women out there - we hate it when our cars break down along the road. It leaves us at the mercy of taking help from people we do not know and who could be dangerous. Thankfully, every time I've been stranded, nice people have helped me out, but for her it is a stressful matter. Ah, thanks Steve.

I drive 1 of 2 1968 Ford pickups I own. Similar to one in a picture I saw you post about an old hand-crank Caterpillar. Those vehicles are easy to fix, still have available parts and are coming back into popularity.

They make it all worthwhile! I wish you the best on your home. Also, I commend you for committing to the documentation of your process. That is my one regret - that I didn't take more pictures along the way. It seemed like I was always covered with cement and hesitant to bring my camera into the mess. Anyway, kudo's to you. I'll be in touch. Dani Thank you, Jen, for the kind words. They make it all worthwhile! I wish you the best on your home. Also, I commend you for committing to the documentation of your process.

Wow, I commend you for all your hard work and determination! You have another follower (ME). You're my inspiration, especially being a strong headed woman with a dream; one who lived it through to the end. My man and I plan to start building in June 2012, and I'm wondering if I could get your email to ask you a few specific questions regarding your building techniques. I'm confused (an often occurrence) about the seams of the OSB board and determining the dimensions necessary for footings to hold the load of all those rocks n concrete. I'm also confused on the wire tie ins. I'd really appreciate any help you can give me, because I too, am walking into this a little blind. I plan to document the process as you have and I'd love to share my experiences with you and I hope you can be a distant mentor to me. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks, Jen PS-Your home is a one of a kind beautiful castle. I look fwd to being the queen of my own castle one day. :) Hi Dani!
