Follow along for our next adventure! Building our forever barndominium home deep in south Alabama

2025/4/4 Edited to

Building a barndominium is an exciting venture that allows homeowners to combine modern aesthetics with rustic charm. Popular for their durability and energy efficiency, barndominiums are gaining traction in the housing market. As you follow our journey in South Alabama, consider the advantages of these structures: cost-effectiveness, customizable designs, and the potential for sustainable living. On Day 1, our amazing crew arrived after an 11-hour drive, ready to work tirelessly through the day and into the night. From laying the foundation to framing, each step is a testament to the commitment of our team. We aim to keep you updated with daily progress, tips for building your own barndominium, and creative ideas for interior design. Follow along as we share insights and inspiration that can guide you through this incredible building experience!

An overhead flat lay shows two physical books and an e-reader displaying "Little Goddess" by Layla Frost. Text overlays highlight themes like MMFM, morally grey MMCs, daddy kink, sunshine FMC, friends to lovers, age gap (19/27/31/36), and lady napping.

A text excerpt from the book "Little Goddess" by Layla Frost, titled "If three's a crowd, then what's four? A happily ever after." It describes the protagonist's journey from hippie communes to Black Resorts, meeting three men, and their possessive return.

Three quotes from the book "Little Goddess" are displayed: "ONE DAY. I'LL GET HER TO LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT WHEN IT ISN'T ABOUT FOOD.", "SHE'D CHOSEN US IN THE NIGHT. SHE WAS STUCK WITH US IN THE LIGHT OF DAY.", and "THAT YOU'RE MY STARRY SKY. BRIGHTNESS AFTER SO MUCH F**KING DARK." Below is the book cover featuring three men.

Our queen. Our goddess. Ours.
