You are the source. I've printed off 53 pages of material and studied it and learned a tremendous amount, even though I have been a subcontractor my whole life.

Beginning is a Delicate Time

Posted to AboveTheAppleTree by Curt in La Farge, WI on 12/8/2007 3:49:18 PM

My wife Holly and I just settled on the name of our project and "Above The Apple Tree" was born.  The idea for this house was born in sometime in the 1990's, but really didn't pickup until the last year or two.  We had a few serious conversations with my folks about building on the farm and even picked out the location - on the hill above the draw we always referred to as "down by the apple tree" due to the antique Wolf River tree at the head of the lane.  Our goal is to build in 2010, but we're not sure if that means breaking ground in October of 2010 or move in in January of 2010 - lots of variability, but we're not on a tight timeline.  I've moved 19 times in my life and am only planning two more moves:
Move Home Year
0 Green House Farm
1 Haymaker's Acers 1975
2 Salem Ridge Trailer 1982
3 Cherry St House 1984
4 Salem Ridge House 1985
5 Hwy 82 House 1987
6 Coate Hall 3c 1992
7 410n 10th St apt (Summer Sublet) 1993
8 107 Baird Hall (Kimchee Arcade) 1993
9 204 Baird Hall (Interim) 1994
10 Mark Paulsons' House (Summer Sublet) 1994
11 107 Baird Hall (Kimchee Arcade) 1994
12 111s 10th St. (Summer Sublet) 1995
13 Pine St. Apt (college hole) 1995
14 Westby Trailer 1996
15 207s Second st Deleven House 1998
16 Silver Lake Trailer 1999
17 426 4th Av N. Apt 1 Onalaska 1999
18 Sandhill Trailer 2003
19 Lisney Rd. House 2003
20 Above The Apple Tree 2010 or 2011
21 Shady Pines 2050?

I purchased "The Whole Enchilada" and completed the Owner Builder Book this past month.  I'm reading The Complete Idiots' Guide to Building Your Own Home now and working with the Better Homes and Gardens Home Designer 7 suite to layout the Above The Apple Tree house.  I created preliminary design for the Above The Apple Tree House, but I think I'm going to scrap it.  Its based on a layout and design of the features we like and wanted to keep in our current home instead of the features we wished we had in our custom home.  Holly and are going back to jump with a feature list where the sky is the limit and I'll work up a few designs based on those features.
