We are building a house from foam core panels, which are also known as Structural Insulated Panels, or SIPs. We have done most of the work ourselves and it has been a very interesting experience with many twists and turns, and delays. For the longest time it seemed like it was just a foam core fantasy, but we have finally gotten it to the point where we can live there again at last.

Basement Office
Doug's office area is shaping up pretty nicely so far. It's a new setup that will hopefully work well for him without taking up too much space. He's got a shiny new black table top that was made out of a door by him, and stained and polyurethaned by me, and he just put up the shelf that we both collaborated on. It's looking good!

Thanks for the great post. Good advice! I always thinking fixing up your home is a love hate thing. It can be extremely rewarding, but it can be a second job too. This was a great post though.
I stumbled upon this blog like I did yours. Thought it's humor on home fixing might be enjoyable: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/our-house/
Thanks for the post! I'd love to see more like it.

Hey Pete, thanks for visiting! You are right, it is most definitely a love/hate thing and a sense of humor definitely helps. But sometimes I get a little sarcastic and people can't tell that I'm joking! I'll go check out that link.
I really like what you have done with you small space. i am havign troble also trying to get everyhting to fit where I need it to. But I really didn't think about putting things up off the ground and out of the the way. Well I think it looks great nice job!
Thank you Abby, and thanks for visiting! I know what you mean about squeezing a lot of stuff into a small space. It's a challenge! Doug has been enjoying his new office space.
