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.

Making Adjustments on Foundation tolerances
My brother Scott came out and helped me to operate the lazer transit to check the level of the foundation walls. You expect some variance, it's concrete. But the time to know where these variances are is before you start installing the floor. That way you can make the small adjustments needed, and have a perfectly level and square floor. This is very important and is worth any effort and time you invest. The greatest variance was 5/16" and is easily corrected with some shimming of the mudsill. This week we will dig the electric supply line and install underground conduit; complete the piers and have termite pretreat; and begin framing. Yehaw, I cant wait to work with wood!!!!!!
