Welcome
Welcome back to DayCreek.com. Daycreek.com was originally established in 1997 to chronicle our cordwood house-building adventure here in southeast Minnesota.
For those wondering, we love our cordwood house and can’t say enough good things about the house and living out in the sticks. It’s been a blast and hope to bring many more journal entries and videos to you as we move forward in our continuing adventure!
Please be sure to subscribe to our website to get the latest updates.
Thank you and enjoy our website!
