Breaking ground on lot 162

The big dig has started...we went by the property this weekend and this is what we saw...














You will notice a few things:
Wood frames have been placed to pour the foundation
Trenches have been dug for the utilities water and drainage
The house next door has been framed already

It happens pretty quickly after they get started...very exciting!

Details, Details, Details...Signatures, Signatures, Signatures

We did it!  We got through the maze of home purchasing details...and signatures.  There were many of each.  I'm not certain if you can imagine how many details there are to a new house...faucet finishes, cabinet door handles, extra outlets.  

To illustrate I have inserted a picture of the floor plan...now you may be more interested in where the guest bedroom is *as I would be* But I don't know if you can see them -- there are little triangles placed in the master bedroom, den and great room...this is where we selected the phone jacks would go!  Now how fine-tuned is that?   Imagine decisions like this in every room in the house.   


Not complaining, just sharing some of the joy of it all :)  One thing is certain, it will be beautiful when it is all in and done.  We'll keep you posted on the progress once there is some.  They break ground in 2 weeks!
