We have finally started building!  This is our construction site on our hilltop outside of Sherwood, Oregon.  We hope to be done by late Winter, in time to start planting a vineyard.  Eventually we hope to have around 15 acres of grapes on our 19 acre site.  We know how bad we are at sharing photos and updates with friends and family, so we hope we can get the hang of this blogging thing so that you can keep tabs on our progress more easily.  Wish us luck - more for learning the whole blogging thing than for the house!

This is standing from where our front door will be.  We will take a lot of photos from this spot, just to compare.  On a clearer day you would see Mount Hood right in the middle of the shot.
