The Finns are moving to the Texas backcountry to build their dream home from the ground up. Follow the journey of this farmstead undertaking that mixes family with new construction and a big dose of heart.

The Design Network

The Finn family is busting at the seams, so Leah and Michael have decided to head to the Texas backcountry to build their dream home off the grid and from the ground up.

Going Off the Grid

The house is framed, the windows are being installed, and it's time to start the stonework. But not everything's been running so smoothly.

Let Go and Let Gary

Between disagreements over a rusty cupola and her realization that the exterior stonework may not be turning out like she envisioned, Leah's experiencing some sleepless Texas nights.

Corbels, Old Doors & Cupolas

The mortar on the exterior stone is finally dry, but hasn't turned out at all like Leah envisioned. Luckily, Builder Gary has some ideas up his sleeve to solve their color crisis once and for all.

Like Watching Mortar Dry

Leah turns her attention to interior selections, but choosing paint colors proves to be more difficult than she anticipated, so it's time to bring in backup.

Bring Your Daughter to Work Year

With the end of the project in sight, everyone's working hard to make sure the Finn family makes their move-in date. Will everything fall into place on time?

The Final Push

Leah's heard that the last 10% of the build takes 90% of the effort ... and it couldn't be more true. With the move-in date fast approaching, she and Builder Gary are working through the final details.
