This is Max's closet door. If you think it looks small, then you have a good eye. I guess next to the bedroom door there is no questioning it, huh. Well, this is the result of two amateurs designing their own home. We noticed this after the house was framed and decided we didn't care. So what? It's smaller than normal--it fits the occupant of this room more perfectly, ha!</div>

This is the tile for the mudroom/laundry room. It's porcelain tile that looks like brick. I have loved it for a long time but got cold feet about going with this at the last minute. Then Rod said he really wanted it and insisted so I'm back to loving it again.</div>

This is the pantry. We decided to use the last reclaimed door here. To the right is the family room and to the left is the hallway that will have a washer and dryer, a half-bath, a desk/office area, a small coat/locker area, and the door that leads out to the shop/barn.</div>

The upstairs flooring is on. The story behind it is this: I fell so hard for something else. That flooring was engineered hardwood. I wrote about it and showed pictures of it some time ago. But, when it was time to order the flooring and all the numbers were crunched, we decided that one way to save would be to go with less expensive stuff upstairs. This flooring was on clearance at the same place we purchased my dream flooring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is laminate and comes in 7-inch planks. I must admit, when we got home late at night with the truck loaded up and I carried 40 boxes of flooring upstairs all by myself so Rod could get the desperately hungry calves fed, I was having some serious second thoughts about the color. But now that it's installed, I'm really happy with it. It achieves the weathered wood look I was searching for.</div>

And these doors....ahh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've written about the barn that was hit by the tornado, but I haven't said anything about the house. There was a house. It was old. It was taken down on purpose by the previous owners of this property (my in-laws) in order to build a new house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lucky for us and every thanks to my father-in-law, some of the things were salvaged, including these doors. They had several layers of paint. I just got them back from the guy who stripped them for me. And, I just love them. I think the exposed nail heads are so cool. They still need to be sanded but we plan to keep them the natural color. They will be closet doors in the kids' bedrooms and our closet.</div>

There's a whole lot of white going on in here. Which I love, but I'm not sure Rod does. But once the wood went up, I think he sees the vision a little more clearly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wood comes from the old barn, so I think this is really cool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what is finished? Most of the windows are trimmed. Most of the paint is finished. As we speak, I think the upstairs flooring is being finished up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, what needs to be done before we move in? Bathroom tile, stairway trimmed, kitchen and counter tops installed, two shed roof ceilings get decorative wood, downstairs flooring, closet shelves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ahhh, this is so exciting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't but I haven't been around here lately. Discouragement set in sometime around June and it overwhelmed me. We worked on finishing the siding, windows and roofing for most of the spring and summer and there seemed to be no end in sight. And I just couldn't mark progress with a picture of one piece of siding at a time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I am happy to report that I am overwhelmed with gratitude for many reasons but the biggest reason is because the drywall will start going on tomorrow! The end just feels a litter closer today. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here is what you missed from the summer until now:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But the history of this property goes back much further.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Abraham Stump and Jonathan Stump were some of the earliest settlers of this area in 1846. They apparently came from Pennsylvania. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are said to be eight fresh water springs here that were used in these early days of settlement to generate power. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A saw mill was built on the property that employed eight people who worked for $1/day in 1880. There was also a store called the Union Valley Groceries, Dry-Goods, Boots and Shoes Store. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because of the Stumps who first inhabited this area and the businesses that they started, the area was referred to as Stump Town. The name Stump Town even appeared in some local newspapers in the late 1800's but it was never documented as an official community. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
People who have been around this area for awhile still refer to this property as Stumptown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seemed only fitting to keep the history of Stumptown alive when we were searching for a name for our farm and cattle business.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The information I share here comes from the Nappanee Historical Society. I hope to continue to learn more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since 2007, the beams from the historical barn have been rotting in the elements. Once we purchased this property three years ago, this has been a hard one to accept. We'd love to be able to use these beams in the construction of our new barn, but the beams have been reduced to crumbly, weathered saw dust.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fortunately, quite a bit of the barn siding was preserved inside one of the buildings on the property. We're hoping to use as much as we can through-out the new barn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The French doors are in and it's getting warmer around here. Both are causes for much happiness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're way behind schedule; to the point that there is no schedule anymore, which is the cause of much discord. I don't ask anymore.</div>

Life keeps moving in high speed. We have 16 days of school before summer vacation. Have I ever mentioned that I am a Mild Disabilities Special Education Teacher? I cannot think of a more rewarding job. Kids who are different are amazing. I guess I'm saying this as a reminder that no matter where we're at with this project, I'm very lucky. Enjoy the process.</div>

The following are pictures that I'm using as inspiration for finishing the porch. I always thought we would have white porch posts and a white front door but I'm considering stained now. I think it's a more modern farmhouse look. I also like it with the black door. </div>

One area of progress is the stone. We finally made the decision and within a month the stone was on. We ordered through our own small town guy Don Rohrer. The manufacturer of the stone is Dutch Quality. The name of the stone is Weather Ledge. The color is called Quail Grey. You can find it <a href="http://dutchqualitystone.com/weather-ledge.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">here. </span></a>Don's guy that installed the stone was super nice. I'm afraid that he thinks I'm difficult to work for. I had an image of an old barn foundation with lots of mortar and I probably repeated exactly what I wanted far too many times. In the end, we are so happy with everything about the stone: the color, the size, and the larger gaps with lots of mortar.<br />

These are the four-foot french doors (smaller than standard french doors). There are four sets of them. They open <b>out </b>onto the porch, which just so happens to be my dream. Ahhh. They were also almost the death of Rod. They take a special screen but I'm so happy that he finally agreed and I can't wait to live in the country because of these!</div>

Not a great quality picture, but our 2nd baby of the year. Another boy! It was Mabel's first calf and it was our first experience needing to give a cow a little help. The front hooves are supposed to pop out first; however, every time she pushed, all we saw was the calf's face. After Rod called around and consulted others, he reached in and found the front hooves. After that, Caroline and Rod had to help pull the calf.</div>

The biggest hold up has been the stone. All along we weren't sure if we even wanted stone, then Rod decided he does. Which is great. I could have gone either way on this one. The problem is that he knows I need to pick it out in order for optimal marital happiness and I need time to make decisions. This isn't anything new; we are both terrible decision makers. Hence, the three year period between the beginning of this project until now. I think we're getting closer to having that decision made, finally! You can see in the above pictures that there isn't much room at the bottom of the siding for stone. The reason for this is that we want it to stay low to the ground so it sort of looks like a stone foundation. It will go around the barn and house both. We will use the same stone for the fireplace. Below is the inspiration for the stone. It comes from the current season of Fixer Upper. You can see more pictures of this stone on the Magnolia website <a href="https://magnoliamarket.com/our-show/episode-01-the-cargo-ship-house/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">here</span></a>.</div>

For this poor girl, the struggle was real that morning. Rod always assures me that the cattle love cold temperatures. However, he said that at -10 he even noticed that they were little stressed. But, we live in northern Indiana. It might be in the 40's in a few days.</div>

On another note...the best news that I have stumbled across recently, concerning this project, that is, is that I think I have found the flooring of my dreams. I saw it online before but dismissed it because the nearest location is in Chicago. And even though a girl would go to great lengths to secure the floor of her dreams, I really couldn't tell from their website pictures if it really was the flooring of my dreams. And then, a miracle...I was on Pinterest, shocking, and this woman blogged about her new floor and voila, it was THAT floor. You can see her blog and pictures <a href="http://addisonswonderland.com/newwhiteoakhardwoodflooring/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">here</span></a> and below. The floor comes from <a href="https://www.flooranddecor.com/engineered-hardwood-wood/montpellier-oak-engineered-hardwood-941700590.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">here</span></a>. After a little more research, this company will ship the flooring; however, I might muster up the courage to ask a certain retired couple for a huge favor and a road trip. They have been very persistent in asking how they can help, after all. The thing about this floor, to me, it looks like an old barn floor and it's exactly what I've been searching for and it's more reasonably priced than the other engineered floors we've priced.</div>

<br />
I've been thinking about flooring lately. I feel like flooring is a major thing. Even though we're not ready for it, there is a lot of coordinating of woods that needs to be decided.<br />
<br />
In the beginning, I really liked this porcelain tile floor. It's the least expensive at $3.88/sq. ft. from Lowes. Since we will have heat in our floors, I think it's a really good option. I love that the "planks" are 8-inches<br />
wide.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4837912601593784911" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

<br />
Then Rod wanted me to find engineered hardwood, and I found the following:<br />
<br />
<img alt="BUCKINGHAM OAK - Room" height="480" src="https://shawfloors.scene7.com/is/image/ShawIndustries/DC240_00514_ROOM?$floorvana_fullscreen_room$&bgc=0x000000&fmt=Jpeg&fit=crop&qlt=60&wid=1024" width="640" /><br />
<br />
This one is my favorite. Find it<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: cyan;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><a href="https://shawfloors.com/flooring/hardwood/details/buckingham-oak-dc240/drawbridge" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">here</span></a>.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
Or this one:<br />
<br />
<img alt="BUCKINGHAM OAK - Room" height="480" src="https://shawfloors.scene7.com/is/image/ShawIndustries/DC240_00986_ROOM?$floorvana_fullscreen_room$&bgc=0x000000&fmt=Jpeg&fit=crop&qlt=60&wid=1024" width="640" /><br />

<br />
And this:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This:<br />

<br />
<br />
No decision yet on that yet.<br />
<br />
That's it for now. Thanks for following.<br />

Construction keeps inching away here. The framers just finished up for awhile. Now Rod will work on the insulation, siding, and roof. He gently mentioned that maybe being moved in by Christmas isn't going to happen, something I've been suspecting for a week or two. I'm ok with that piece of news now and I am still so very excited about how things are shaping up.</div>

This is the front of the barn. The left side is the living quarters. The framers will come back in a few weeks to add the porch roof.</div>

This is hard to see, but I was so excited about this so I wanted to try to show it. As the kids' bedrooms were being framed in, Rod noticed that above the areas right beside each of their bedrooms, there would be room to add lofts. The area is small, maybe only big enough for a twin mattress. The kids really like this about their rooms.</div>

Many people have been confused about the style of house we are envisioning. I won't be mad that they didn't read and only looked at the pictures. Again, the previous inspiration pictures that I posted were for our original floor plan that we scrapped. This barn with living quarters that we are actually building is so different. I love so many styles of design and loved that craftsman/mountain look for our original house design. However, for his project, a more modern/industrial barn is the look we are going for.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The siding is white steel with a board and batten design. Even though we want this to be our budget project, splurging on the board and batten steel siding was something we are willing to do.</div>

Rod absolutely baked while he laid out a layer of silver insulation. On top of this is a heavy wire mesh. Zip tied to the mesh is hot-water heat tubing that runs 12-inches apart in our living quarters and 18-inches apart in the barn/shop.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would be mortified if someone in the architectural or drafting world ever found out that we did it this way, but the bottom line is this--This barndominium has been our budget plan all along--end of that story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Floorplanner.com is pretty easy to learn; however, if I didn't have Rod (who has built several houses) sitting right beside me telling me to add measurements to the center of the windows from an outside corner and various other technical construction lingo, then I wouldn't recommend it for actually building something. But it is super fun to play with if you like housing and design. That was a hint to Mrs. Robertson.</div>

If we were sold on the last house, we would be moving forward with the plans.<br />
<br />
Since we had reservations, I casually threw an idea out to Rod.<br />
<br />
We have always planned on adding another barn to our property after the house is built. Since we can't decide on the house, why don't we put up the barn first and live in it?<br />
<br />
It didn't take more than a day and he was sold...and so was I.<br />
<br />
So now we head in yet another direction.<br />

It is 1421 square feet. Almost half of what we had before.<br />
<br />
It has a lot of what we have been looking for, with a much more reasonable size (and price).<br />

They come from <a href="http://www.locatiarchitects.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">here</span></a>. They are like nothing I have ever seen. And even though they are typically found in the mountains of Montana, I can just picture this style of home on our farm in Indiana.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We really thought we could scale this type of home down to 2500 square feet and be able to build much of it ourselves.<br />
<br />
After all, building and remodeling homes is Rod's business.<br />
<br />
But in the end, it was just too much.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our building plans are on hold. We either need to scale our plan down, change the building materials, or possibly even find something much simpler. </div>

In the meantime, our 8-acres with a barn will be home to our two 4-H heifers, one 4-H steer, numerous steers for beef production and random farm cats. We'll continue to drive several times daily to care for our animals. Here are a few pictures of our farm.</div>

<br />
This is our sixteenth year of marriage and we have lived in three homes.<br />
<br />
We couldn't afford our dream home in the country. So we flipped houses until we could.<br />
<br />
Our latest and biggest house-flip unexpectedly, but oh-so-welcomingly, just sold.<br />
<br />
Here is the before and after:<br />

We found a condominium to rent while we build a house.<br />
<br />
We'd like to start building this year.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned.<br />

Thanks for following.<br />
