You have found Kyle Dwyer and Hannah Whitehouse. This is our site that tracks our travels, family and venture into home building. You can read more about us and follow our expeditions as well as the trials and tribulations of building our own home from the dirt up. We may not be the most exciting and hip team, but we have fun, always bite off way more than we can chew and have a good laugh all the way through. So dig in, feel free to think we are insane (most do) and most of all Enjoy :)

January 25th - Double Wide is liveable and quite cozy
Between Kyle, Jo and Hannah, the double wide is now quite a cozy and CLEAN temporary abode, it will almost be sad to see it torn down at the end of the year. It toook Jo 3 days to clean the kitchen alone but it was worth it (at least I hope she thinks so).
Kyle is in the midst of rewiring the shop so we don't light on fire when we turn the lights on and we have already had Eric from Organic Architect and his team up here for a perusal and assessment, if they think we have lost our minds then they were polite enough not to blurt it out. We will see what they come back with and what it will cost...eek!

May 15th - May 28th
Costa Rica came and went and will not be a repeat venture again, at least we hope not. Between losing luggage, robbed twice, stung by a scorpion and 5 and half hour traffic jams - its not a county I need to see again. Oh, and its one of the least environmentally responsible places I have ever been, don't believe what you hear:-(
