My husband and I have recently moved to Central Illinois from Indiana, though we grew up here we considered Indiana our home. Well, life sometimes throws you lemons, lots of lemons. We had more lemons then the lemon shake-up stand at the state fair. However like Americans everywhere we had to make changes to keep our family thriving.
So here we are, we've left the lemons behind and moved on. My husband and I both have stable jobs we are not only grateful for, we truly enjoy. We know we are blessed.
In order to re-root ourselves we have decided to build a home. We have been gifted several acres of property in beautiful Fulton County, Illinois and here our adventure will begin. We envision a timber frame home built with as many reclaimed materials we can find, featuring a masonry heating system, solar panels, and NO mortgage. I love the idea of no mortgage, however this idea of build as you can will take time. We estimate 2-3 years before we will have a livable space.
I invite you to journey with us as we learn to live wisely, learn to grow, and learn to build as a family.
An ideal location for a house.
The property also features a small pond. Maybe ice skating in the winter....
