A friend forwarded us this blog found on the NYTimes.com. It is called Dream Home Diaries. They moved to FL to build their dream house. It doesn't hurt to write for the NY Times to help with exposure but I was interested in the comments. In light of the fact that no one visits our blog yet, I can't even defend all the mistakes we are sure to make in the process. So while reading the comments of the readers of Dream Home Diaries, I read every criticism I know is out there. The comments speak of "be sure to build green" and "aren't you worried that FL will be under water soon?" I do hope they build green but as far as the threat of global warming, we are going to go down fighting. I do agree with their sentiment- it is really beautiful down here and that was the point of this I think. This is their "About us" on the blog:"They've found an idyllic tiny town in Florida, they've bought a piece of land and now Paul B. Brown and Alison Davis are setting out to build their dream house. How hard can it be, they wonder, even though they live 1,500 miles away, they've never built a home before and they don't know anything about architects, builders, local zoning laws or financing? Chronicling their adventures on this blog for Great Homes, they are about to find out."
