Ground Breaking News!!!

Did you hear it?? 

The loudest, happiest, big ol' Hallelujah!!

On Tuesday, the pad crew came to start the pad!! 

We are thrilled to just be actually getting started with this.  

First they came in, and flattened out the dirt to make a road to the house, and then measured, and staked off, the dimensions of the house, and marked it with these orange stakes.  I think they measure a few feet over, just for safe measures, and to help the concrete crew have more room to work with. 

Here we are checking everything out Tuesday Night!!

We are measuring here to find out how big the yard will be, to find out where the gravel for the road will need to be, to find out how much gravel they need to bring. 

Thursday, they started hauling in the crushed rock to do the pad.  We went and checked it out on Thursday night. 

This picture looking straight on, would be the sidewalk from the orange stick up to the front door. 

Front of the house again. The house is angled a little off the road.  We did this in hopes that our backyard would be blocked a little from the setting sun in the summer time. 

This picture is taken from the very back corner of the patio looking towards the front of the house. 

They are supposed to haul more materials again today, and then finish up the road to the house, and then they are done.
