Well it’s official, groundbreaking has commenced!! It’s a feeling of excitement, but a bit nerve-wracking, because this is a big undertaking for us 3 hours away.

A little backstory…4 years ago almost to do the day we had an itch to fulfill our dream of building a Colorado mountain home. And we actually drove out to an area we liked, looked at lots all day and bought one 😳 yes we do crazy stuff!

Needless to say, that was a crazy dream and we kept it alive for a couple of years but with prices where they were compared to when we bought, it made sense to let it go. We had an adorable black house planned that Mark designed.

So fast forward to now. After we sold the other lake house this year, we looked at houses and nothing spoke to us, unless it was way outside of the budget!

Back to the drawing board when we started looking at the original dream again 🖤

Maybe not the Colorado mountains, but the Ozark mountains are really lovely too, and we are in a very private area, which we love the peace, quiet and the beautiful nature we are surrounded by.

There are not a lot of lakefront lots with the space we wanted, and a 250k lot was not an option, so we just happened to find this little, actually somewhat big, lot that was a diamond in the rough! We love this lot and the area it is in so much!

So as of now….
Lot is cleared ✔️
Electric installed ✔️
Parking pad built ✔️
Dock permit and dock installed ✔️
Building permit approved ✔️
House plans finalized (only 8 revisions to the floor plan 😂) ✔️
And dirt work began yesterday ✔️

So wish us luck and patience as we dive into what will be the 2nd biggest project we have done (we built the house we live in now 23 years ago, like actually built it from the ground up) so hoping this is a fun and productive project that provides us years of enjoyment! And thankfully I’m not pregnant like the last time 😂

We will be short term renting the house when we aren’t there and special discounts for teachers! So follow us along on this journey and hopefully there will be a beautiful house by summer!

So far these are the colors I plan to use in the lake house! Walls will be a nice creamy white, white oak floors and mainly white, white oak and black cabinetry. The house will have 3 bathrooms so I plan to have some accent wallpaper in those as well as the entry way and butler’s pantry. Give me your favorites 1-best,5-least!!

Another beautiful weekend that was hard to leave! Always fun bringing the camper back in the dark 🤪 May hang on to those videos for another day.

Took a big step and closed on the construction loan Friday and signed our excavation/foundation contract that could start next week!

No turning back now, but we don’t want to and are here for the work, fun and a little more sweat equity in our life!

Exciting weekend at the lake lot! More clearing and burning, but we also met our excavation/foundation contractor and things are moving forward and we should have a foundation in the next 2 months!!!

I almost think we are crazy for doing this, or crazy if we don’t!

I am getting a lot of positive energy from this place and hope this is just a glimpse of the fun family memories we have in store for us.

The temporary BBB got some upgrades this weekend!

Well it was a short but productive weekend at the “camp”! That’s the new name I’m giving like it we are Maine Cabin Masters 😂
I mean we do plan to build an adorable black cabin in the woods!

We had a lot of rain which resulted in some really cool waterfalls we discovered. Had a load of gravel delivered from a helpful neighbor so the plan will be constructing a small retaining wall to hold the gravel in for a better camper parking spot. This will eventually be additional parking for the house.

Dock delivery is still in the works, but hoping the next weekend we are down we will finally have that space to hang out.

Met with the neighborhood developer and found out some info on the utilities and the future establishment of a small HOA, which I’m actually excited about being a part of.

We are having some fun with this project and excited for what’s to come!

Exciting future for the lot where the BBB will be! Some of the lot was cleared, still a lot to go, dock location cleared for new dock coming soon and met another really nice neighbor at the beginning stage of their project also! Follow Black Bear Bungalow as this journey continues!
