The Start

Here we are in Spring Hill, Tennessee, making our home. We bought this old store in July and have been turning it into our home. So far it has been real work.
We moved to Nashville area in February from Kona, Hawaii. Kris, my main squeeze, is a singer/song writer. We decided we needed to move our family to the scene for him to be heard. The idea we had when we moved out here was buy a home that would be cheeper to live in then renting the conventional home or apartment. Then Kris would be freed up to work less and write more songs. When we found this place we were really excited.
Yes, it is old and run down and intimidating, but the potential is enormous. Oh, the dreams we have dreamed for our land and this structure! The main objective at first was to make the downstairs livable.  We moved in at the end of August. It wasn't totally finished, but almost. Since then we have winterized and are currently focusing on moving in and making this home. Eventually we will finish the whole building and have an awesome home, recording studio and work space. We would like to plant an orchard and have some killer gardens on our land too.
I'm writing this blog for any one who cares to see what we're making or remaking.  The house, gardens, furniture, or whatever I fancy. If you feel inspired to visit and work, do so. If you feel inspired to offer suggestions, by all means, do so. If you feel inspired to send me lavish gifts and affection, I won't stop you! And please, encouragement is greatly appreciated!
I will do my best to update this blog regularly for you, dear reader, and for me as a journal of our progress. We have a lot of fun projects to do! I'm only learning how to make a blog, so this might be a bit lame at first, but it will get better.
