Things have been hectic and the schedule changes daily. I'll keep trying to put these short videos together each week. The plan is to make a more comprehensive video when everything is done, but for now... this is what you get!

Blueprints are done!!
I started drawing floor plans in September 2016.
Bought the land in December 2016.
Interviewed over 2 dozen timberframers.
Collected cost data for the entire project into a ridiculously large spreadsheet.
Collaborated with Downstream Construction in the design of a beautiful timberframe.
Modeled the entire thing in 3D.
Figured out how to turn that 3D model into 2D blueprints.
Had the entire design tested by a structural engineer.
Went through a few rounds of revisions.
And now, 14 months later, I'm the proud owner of stamped and approved building plans! :)
That was ...really hard. I had to level up several skills along the way, but it's done. Thank the gods it's done! It really wore me down.
I'm about to undertake one helluva woodworking project.
Here she is, folks....

We bought some trees!
Apologies. I've been busy. A fellow woodworker and follower of this site politely suggested I share what's going on with the rest of my readers. (That I actually have readers still blows my mind).
TL;DR - My wife and I bought 19 acres and are planning to build a timberframe house next year. Meanwhile I am doing all of the interior window and door trim on my brother's newly built house. My Arts & Crafts End Tables project is on hold.
So that's the short version. If you want the long version, I'll try to document the journey so far in the next few posts. Let's start with the fun stuff... pictures!
