The Time Has Come

The phone call came last week on our anniversary telling us to be ready to start our house this week. We've waited a year for this, and now it's all a little scary. It's time to start making quick decisions on all the little details that I have to live with for at least the next 10-20 years....Flooring, paint, fixtures, appliances, cabinets, countertops, brick, shingles....and on and on. I hope we're ready for this.

Pictures of actual construction coming soon!

Just a metal pipe.....


We don't have a house, and we don't have a driveway...but there is a culvert where our driveway will be! Woohoo. It's so sad when you get excited to drive by and see a metal pipe in a ditch.

We've spent the last few months making sure we were happy with our floor plan so that we don't make changes once the building has started. I want the building process to go as smoothly as possible. Last week we met with our contractor to finalize our plan. I am completely, 100% satisfied with everything. I really think it is the perfect the plan with open spaces and lots of storage, but most of all....it is not a 100 year old drafty, cold house!

More posts and pics to come!
