Introduction

For several years I've wanted to move back to North Florida. I grew up in Tallahassee as a seventh generation Floridian, and now that I have a six month old son I want him to share the experiences of life in the South.

My wife and I expect the move to be a big adjustment. Not only because we will be leaving so many good friends behind in Colorado, but also because we plan to find some land which we would build a house in the countryside. I am starting this blog to chronicle the journey from leaving our home in Colorado (downtown Denver no less) and moving into a new life in rural North Florida.

I'm a big fan of what I'll call Neo-cracker architecture. The house I have in my mind would be a contemporary adaptation of a cracker farm house with many practical self-sustainability features that we can incorporate. Ideally, that would income reclaimed hardwoods, solar/wind energy and enough land to grow many of our own foods.

Wish me luck!
