About Us
Our Story
Bahay Namin
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.
Fun Fact: I was born in the Philippines. Bahay Namin means "our house" in Tagalog, a Philippine dialect. The title of this blog is a salute to my heritage.
