Breaking Ground

The construction of our new home is underway, well kind of.  You may remember pictures of a wooded area from this spring or last fall that I referred to as our new land...after many nights spent pinning and researching we finally came up with a plan and picked a builder.  If only I could get paid for all of my hours spent researching plans, kitchens, light fixtures, etc. then we wouldn't even need financing!  Nate actually ended up drawing our colonial style house plan in AutoCad  because even with all the research that we did we didn't find one that was just right.  Our builder helped us tweak it and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we'll love our new mountain farmhouse (that's what I'm referring to it as, since I consider the look of it to be modern farmhouse"ish").  Finally, this week some trees started coming down.  We are excited to see some progress and can't wait to see a foundation and some walls going up...and I'm ready to starting picking out/finalizing siding, fixtures, cupboards and anything else, the sooner the better, please!

Early in the week

Friday, more progress but still more clearing to be done

Go figure...this pile of wood isn't worth much if anything...firewood, anyone?

The house will be about where we are standing

Thanks for the new toy, does it come with the house?

Driveway to be...
