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.

1st Signs of Color
Yeehaw, the plumber is just about done. The electrician is working hard and should be done in a week. The ext. siding is going on, and looks great. Things are really coming together, and with good luck we should be inside within a month. I had my neighbor Tim take out some trees and do some clearing around the house, and it looks so good. He also prepared the hot tub deck area so I can get busy and buy me a tub. I need a soak, and the electrician said he could hook me up before final. I also got a call from Scott Phillips in Parthenon, my big cedar logs are starting to come out of the logging woods and will be on the yard soon. The last week has been spent procuring interior finish material. We are spending too much money, but the opportunity to build a special and uniuqe home is right there in front of us. Hopefully the budget wont get too out of control, but becouse of keeping our costs so low on other parts of the house, we are able to spend more on the interior finish items. Hope everyone enjoys this beautiful day. SYOTMS we hope
