Pins on the HouseBlogs Google Map
or, LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
Just wanting to remind all HouseBloggers to check their position on the new map over at the HouseBlogs.net site.
Aaron didn't have coordinates for everyone and didn't want to locate someone hundreds of miles away from their house by accident. (Though Chicago Two-Flat accidentally moved to Seattle for the weekend...welcome back guys!) And some we are still researching coordinates for.
If you don't feel comfortable with EXACT coordinates, just pick an address for the center of your town or something similar to represent yourself. And then send it to us at owners (at) houseinprogress (dot) net. Aaron will be handling corrections and additions over the next couple of days.
John at To Restore a House was a prince to help with the coding (thus preventing Aaron from staying up until 4 a.m. EVERY night). And, of course, thanks to Google for their Google Maps API.
Here are the houseblogs we need coordinates for in order to place them somewhere on the map:
Riverdale Park House–Maryland
Serendipity House—New York
The Darling Estate—Florida
Schaeferhome.com—Georgia
Making a House a Home-Indiana
Stucco House—Minnesota
House on Clover—Northern California
Clark Creek Blog—Washington
Down the Dirt Road—???
Bu11frogg Builds a House—???
We have locations for the following and still need to add them to the map (it's been tricky finding GPS coordinates outside of the U.S.):
Ange & Pete Build Their Dream Home—New Brunswick, Canada
In the future, HouseBlogs.net hopes to be offering the ability for housebloggers to enter or edit their own coordinates! Until then, Aaron and I have to brush up on our knowledge of geography. :)

49 months???? Yikes!! You must really love that house! I couldn't do it for that long...I would have to have something finished! You have my sincere admiration!
I see that I'm one of the locations you don't yet have. Although I couldn't find actual "coordinates", I can tell you that the nearest plot point would be at the Town of VanBuren, NY. If you zoom in exactly half way, you'll find it just northwest of the very center of NY....where Syracuse is. Very cool map, by the way.
Have a great day!
