Villa Nordhøi is a Swiss-style villa built in 1891 in the historic section of Eidsvoll, Norway. It was built by the local shoe maker and remained in the same family until we purchased it in January 2007. The structure of the building is log-cabin framing with siding inside and out.

This Project is Still Ongoing

OK, we haven't been doing anything on this project for nearly a year, but we are turning our focus toward it once again.

The reason for our non-activity is that we have moved to Belgium for the next four years in connection with work. We moved out of our two-bedroom city apartment and do not intend to move back there in four years (with three kids who will be 15, 12 & 8 when we move back, a two-bedroom would be nearly impossible). Our intention is to have this project completed so we can move in when we return in August 2014.

So now we have a timeline in which the project must be completed (or we'll end up living with friends). That gives only three and half years. With the hoops we'll need to jump through to get past the Preservation Department, we'll probably need all of that time.
