We are building a house. Not just any house, but an 1850s-style octagon house, the kind that used to be found here and there on the Midwestern prairie. For most of the construction we use existing materials that Jim has scrounged over the years. Read on and enjoy! — Jim & Sam

Winter work
We have made great strides in collecting materials for the octagon house to come. Here is just a small sampling of the fir, maple, and oak flooring that we have been able to gather. A friend of ours was going to demolish their 1920s farm house. They said we could have whatever we wanted. The flooring was a dirty and dusty chore to take up, but an experience nonetheless. A great task to take up the flooring on a cold winter day. Once this is laid and sanded it will look marvelous in the second floor.
