Progress for Christmas

So we have footers and forms...a septic tank and lines for rough plumbing. We will be taking it easy for a day or two of really cold weather (oh, yeah, and the holidays). Check back in January!

Hello from soggy Southern Utah! Here are a few photos of the latest... As one of our neighbors observed, Andy's progress is nothing short of stunning. Other than the weather, we are facing few obstacles - so far. Andy now has a new assistant, and several other, slightly older ones. We will have visitors over Christmas break, but Andy will keep plugging along throughout. I think we're having a hail storm as we speak. Something just blew over...

12/17 The lot was graded over the weekend! We were busy with the puppy and now we have a space for the house.... Andy and Sarah(see photo) are on the lot right now, checking things out. She is going to be a good assistant. Andy mentioned footers and inspection for later this week. I'll add pictures:)

We have heavy machinery! Check back for pictures :)

So much for posting more often. I am officially "out of the loop". Andy's really got all the work now. We took our numbers to the credit union and got an appraisal, approval, and signed our closing docs yesterday. We now have a count-down. We have temporary power, water, and insurance. Of course, we've been praying for rain all summer, and now that we're actually starting construction, it's going to be an el nino winter. Our friends, Jim and Tracy, built their house the last el nino year (03-04). Anyway...this time I promise to keep up on the posting. I will add pictures, too. Stay tuned!
