Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of other building blogs besides the popular Bongo Bongo one? I enjoy reading them, and find it really helpful during this process. If you can share a link, that would be great.
Thanks!

Yes, I would love to read up on some too as we will be building in the next couple years. Betty here had a good one, but is no longer up.

www.anchorageaweigh.com is one! A reader from VIOL emailed me some questions a little while ago and I asked her if she knew any other blogs and she sent me this link. I haven't read it yet, but it will be fun to read tonight. Just a reminder to look at the dates the blog was written...sometimes the businesses used and products bought, are not available anymore. Also, there was a big construction boom in the early to mid 2000's and materials like concrete were more in cost.

Reef Madness
BoAtabey
Bongo Bongo
Arc de Sol (spelling?)

Did Betty get her house finished? Last I saw of her blog they were down to the finishing. That method of construction was really interesting to read about.

Some others,

I believe they are all still up, some are still active so you may have to go back to the beginning

Fantastic! All in one place too. I have been googling like crazy for almost two years and only found a few.

If you only have time to read one blog, my vote would be for Randy's Reef Madness. Once I started reading it, it was like a novel, I couldn't put it down and me made me LAUGH! Randy is a great writer and had numerous pics to go along with the blog. :)
