In 2011 I began construction of our dream home on the cliffs of the Osage Gorge in Newton County Arkansas. I designed the house around the incredible site and spent 2 years building the place as my full time job. I now live here with my wife and 9 year old son. The Buffalo National River is only 3 miles away, and we enjoy all seasons, hiking, paddling, and swimming in this beautiful park. Follow along on all the cool adventures and fun.

False Start
Concrete crew showed up on Monday morning ready to pour footings, but road was too soft for the concrete trucks. (Xcgsewaijnhbyccjjxxxkkiiklljj) This is driving me crazy, but I knew that this could happen. We could have built in a easier place, but what would be the challenge in that. The price for having a site like ours is access during the wet season. This period will require the most patience and luck, enough dry time to dry out the road and site and a day to prepare and pour the footings. More rain is in the forcast so we have to wait another week at least. I am using this time to fine tune the design of the interior of the house, and continue working on the road and site. If the rains come, maybe I will get to do some kayaking to keep my mind sane.
