Dodd/Kurylo Family's New House in the Woods

In 2006 we bought 21½ acres of hardwood-forested land in Louisa County, Virginia, and built a house on it in 2010. Click the links at left to see the land and the house plans.

The remaining two storage boxes were removed yesterday and today. We had emptied these boxes over the past two weeks, and now all our belongings are inside the house waiting to be put away.
