I've been having the same thoughts myself, try to do some of it or just contract it all out or buy a pre-fab kit. I've dealt with contractors before on my current house with a room addition and bedroom/bathroom remodel. Most of them I've dealt with…

That looks awesome Sara!! Out west here, when the kids got out for spring break for a few days, we had a little sun and my son suggested an overnight camping adventure in the San Juan Islands. We loaded up our little 12 ft. Pelican class sailboat wi…
