We’re building a house.

Our site - a little-known valley at the head of the Hillsborough River.

Hey y’all - first off, thanks for making your way here. For those that have been following along on Instagram for the last 10 years, y’all know that every now and then I can get a little wordy - I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a spot where I can let things flow a little more and I’m happy to say that I’ve found a project where I think I can make that happen and maybe some more things will come from it.

So what is happening here? As the you might have guessed by now - we’re building a house and I’m really damn excited for it. We’re working with a bunch of our friends to get it done (we’ll talk more about those friends soon) and over the next while I’m gonna take y’all along for the ride from the planning process all the way through to the finish and beyond. My hope is that y’all learn something along the way, find some inspiration and if you’re curious about the house-building process on PEI - I am definitely going to dive into it - what you can expect, what we didn’t expect, and how it all shakes down. Land, permits, financing, site prep - we’ll talk about it all as forthcoming and transparent as I’m able to be.

If you’re still reading this and want to continue to read these types of things, feel free to sign up for my newsletter below - I’ll be sending these posts out there first and then will spread them out through the channels. Let’s get’er goin!
