About Us

We are Sheila & Steve.  We are an adventurous couple who love to spend time outdoors in nature doing fun things together, like hiking, biking, running, skiing, fishing, stand-up paddle boarding, you name it.  We have a goofball black Labrador Retriever (who doesn't always retrieve) named Archer.

​

We found our slice of the American dream just 30 minutes north of New York City.  Four and a half acres of secluded woodland nestled on top of a mountain with seasonal views of the mighty Hudson River.  On this land, we are going to build ourselves a sustainable, Earth-friendly, energy-efficient modern home.  On this blog, I will be posting (fairly regular) updates on our house-building progress.

​

We are super excited about this adventure, and so happy you're joining us for the ride.  If you enjoy a post, please feel free to click on the ❤️ at the bottom.  If you have any questions or comments, please use the comment box.
