Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task
does not divide the Sunday from the week;
What might be toward, that this sweaty haste
Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day?
Hamlet, Act I, Scene I
FIRE! Today, July 15th, the Kelly Fire Department, along with friends from several other area fire departments, burned our old house to the ground. We have lots of pictures.
Welcome to Octabode.com, the chronicle of our quest to build an interesting home, mostly by ourselves. The main purpose of this site is to let our family and friends keep tabs on our progress, view pictures, read a journal of commentary, and so forth. We hope that other folks might stumble across this site and find it interesting or inspiring.

Note: We update this site as often as we find time and energy. This means we do it after a hard day of building when we're tired and sore. If not every word is perfect or every caption up-to-date, we know you'll understand.
