All in all I must say this week was incredible (in a good way). However, that being said, we were provided with plenty of opportunities for character building, turning the other cheek, and general blind optimism this week. It’s bound to go that way sometimes… especially for folks taking on huge plans with little to [...]
Spring flowers are tiny, but no less beautiful than their larger summer counterparts! At Moosicorn Ranch, Buttercups seem to be the first to emerge, followed by Glacier Lilies and Woodland Stars.
As we were loading up the moving truck on Saturday in the rain and wind, we wondered if heading over the summit the next day was going to be a safe option. At one point Snoqualmie Pass was flat out closed. Fortunately, though, the winds carried the storm through quickly. We watched the WSDOT site [...]

We’ve been debating how to trim out the Barn/House when the time comes. With the Marmoleum flooring, stainless fixtures and other industrial accents we’re going to have a very modern look. Traditional wood trim just didn’t seem to fit the space or the ecological imperatives of our construction well enough. Then I discovered Bamboo Plywood. [...]
