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.

Summer Winding Down
It's the 1st of September and fall is on the way. The air is cooling down quick, theres still a little hot left but I can feel the change. Please let it rain, I know personally of a raindance being held this weekend on the mountain, so let's see how they do. Alot is being done now, small projects that take only hours, not days. Roof is 100% complete, fireplaces are being set and installed, blocking for insulation, windows installed, chases for plumber and hvac work built, and the plumber has been busy roughing it all in. I need to finish the deck railing, and start the window and door frames. Mike the hvac guy came by today and is going to start working in the next few days. The septic system is approved by the state, the man said it was the worst ground he had seen in 5 years. Thank goodness they approved it, the system will just cost more. Soon the electrician will be on site and the mechanical will be wraping up.I think in 3 weeks I could be ready for insulation. I need to be working on the inside no later than 1st of October. One of the 2 best times of the year is approaching , make your way to the mountain fast. SYOTR
