I just love the story. The whole story. Best part for me? The "I can do this and follow my dream without taking a huge chunk out of the earth" attitude.
I have been fortunate enough to live on the edge a time or two. I love the look of your barn, particularly the tent. What an obvious great idea. I could see me giving up on the house :) Or postponing it until everything was perfect, which is the same as giving up.
Thanks for a wonderful story. Made my day.
Thanks for the great comments. It was definitely one of those adventure times in our lives. I remember thinking if I were a lot younger it's hard telling if I would go back to a house.
