Love is Building a House Together: A Tribute to My Parents, Part II
In which I continue describing the process of building our house on Minta Lane; this section focuses on moving into the old house that was in front of it in April 1980; completing construction to the point we could finally move in (though there was still work to do), and demolishing the old house.
Love is Building a House Together: A Tribute to My Parents, Part I
In which I begin describing the process of our family building a house together from 1979-1981. In this first part, I discuss purchasing the property on Minta Lane in Antioch, the early design stages (which involved a passive solar design), preparing the construction site, and building the foundation.
