This is a blog about our experience building a home in the Praire style in the suburbs of Washington DC. The blog is more a sequence of photos with some words to describe the process. At times it also is a place to give our frustration and joy in the whole process.

Construction begins..... Excavation, footing and foundation
The end result is the walls of our house...
Finally we got some reprieve and got out foundation walls in.
This rock is an important piece of our past and our future... It comes from the church of the Holy Sceptre, Jerusalem. This is one of the holiest sites for our Ethiopian Orthodox Church and it symbolizes for us that our home is founded on the rock of our church
The excavation went quickly.... As soon as we started footing, it got miserable...
We broke ground in November, not the best time but....
