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.

Roof Coming to Completion
Had a big day today, the roof is coming along fast and I am hard pressed to be ready when they catch up with me. I really felt for the guys on the metal roof, it was a scorcher today. But the guys know what my goal is, to be dried in when David leaves for Atlanta wednesday morning. With a hard day tomorrrow, we just might make it. Me and Richard mixed and poured 30 bags of concrete for the piers on the master deck, which is way too much, but Tim dug the holes too big. One things for sure, it aint comin off the mountain. The framing support for the roof overhangs was a bigger project than I counted on, and I think we came up with a design and plan that really works and looks good. I think it adds an element of post and beam construction to our already hybrid house. Actually, with a recently thought of design feature, the front of the house has really taken on a much better look
