Little House in the Jura

All about our house-building project. We're building a house in France, in the Jura mountains overlooking Lake Geneva. And when we say "building" we mean it. Everything from the foundations up to the top of the basement with our own fair hands (plus those of friends and family). Sometime towards the end of 2008 (all being well), a log home company will come and build a log structure on top of our slipform masonry basement. Between now and then, there's a lot of work to be done ...

Deep and crisp and even


OK, that's the end of building until next April. We had an impressive fall of snow last night. Even in Gex, at around 700 m, we had about 15 cm. The site is at 1300 m so should be well buried by now.

This is the view at the Le Crozet ski lift a few km along the same ridge and at about the same altitude.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.
