Several Updates
Last month we went to my brother's house for a Fieldhouse family reunion. Here are some pictures
After that it was Erin's 5th birthday. Pictures are Here.
Finally here is the latest progress on our house. In theory we'll be moving in by the end of this month but we expect that's going to be a bit tight. We're getting there though....

Completed Exterior

The exterior siding has been finished and the front porch has been poured. There's also been a lot of work on the interior (the stairs have been installed -- so our girls are happy that they've been able to see their soon to be rooms) so we're slowly getting there. You can find more photos Here.

More Progress

There's been quite a bit of progress on the house lately, most of it invisible in photographs. The electrical system has been roughed in along with the security system and the conduit for the eventual home network. Plumbing is also being roughed in this week. Here are some early pictures of the siding going up and some more recent ones.

First Floor Pictures

Here is a collection of first floor photographs. With the posting the web site is somewhat up to date. As I write this on May 4, the second floor joists and deck and about half of the shell have been installed. I'll probably get more photographs either tomorrow or on the weekend.

Starting to Build a House

We're building a house in the Ballston Lake/Burnt Hills area. At this point, the first floor of the house has been Framed. Here are some photos of the early clearing and construction process. I'll be posting more photos of the building process shortly.

We're Home Well, we've been home for quite some time now. The move went really well and we're glad to be back amongs family. And we're really glad not to be contemplating long plane rides in bad weather this time of year. We're in a small apartment in Clifton Park (about two minutes from Keith's work) while we wait for our house to be built up in Burnt Hills. More details and photos from various events will hopefully be posted soon...

We're Going Home
After nearly eight years in Seattle, we're heading home. Keith's accepted a job with Simmetrix a small software development company in Half Moon (not too far outside of Albany). We're very excited to be able to return to an area that means a lot to us and, most importantly, to be close to our families. Updates here at fieldhouses.net have been pretty sparse of late -- we've been pretty focused on setting up the opportunity to move back east -- but we'll try to keep our web site updated with our progress. Our e-mail addresses will continue to work throughout (thought during the move we won't have easy access to the Internet) and we'll be staying with Linda's parents immediately after arriving in Albany while we look for a house.

Back Online It's been a pretty busy holiday season. I've also installed some new software to manage our website (made necessary by a wholesale upgrade of the computer I use to manage this site). The software is blosxom which is similar to the previous software (Movable Type) but much simpler and more directly useful for the way I manage this site. Now that things are somewhat stable, there should be more updates soon.

October Visit to Remlinger Farms

We all headed out to Remlinger Farms a couple of weeks ago. Remlinger Farms is a visitor oriented "farm" that has a bunch of old carnival rides and food and what not that's a lot of fun to visit in the fall. There aren't a lot of pictures of Maureen becuase she spent most of the day happily watching from a backpack on Dad's back while Mom and Erin tried out the rides.Here are some photos

A Busy End to the Summer

We had the good fortune to spend a lot of time with our familys at the end of this summer. First, Keith's mom came out for a few days on her way to meet up with Keith's Dad in Montanna. Then Linda's mom and stepdad came to visit for two weeks. There are some photos of these visit's hereThen we all flew out east to spend a week in Albany (photo's here) and finally we spent a week in a cabin we rented on Moose Pond. The Maine photos can be found here

Welcome Welcome to our new home page! I'm using a new web-based content management system called MovableType to manage the system. The idea is that now Linda or I can readily add news and updates to the website. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to start by using the software for the home page and see where it goes from there. Feel free to let me know what you think.
