Well, it has begun, at least. The slab was poured on the 12th (yesterday) and the framing of the downstairs began today. It is incredible how fast this is going right now. Scott expects it to come to a screeching halt when some glitch inevitably pops up. For now, we are pleased that it is going smoothly and quickly. Enjoy.

The house slab is poured and is being smoothed out. Waiting on the final load of concrete for the garage.

The truck arrives.

Pouring the final load into the garage.

Front corner of the house and garage.

Opposite corner of the house where the master bedroom is. Huge windows on both sides of the bedroom will provide a wonderful view. My super cool nephew, Gabriel, stands in one of the windows for scale.

The footprint of the house is framed and the framers even put a makeshift fince around the large lone pine tree we want to keep.

We have finally broken ground on our new house!! Yipee!! Here are the photos to prove it. This is the pad where the house will sit. It is leveled out and ready for the foundation.



Here are two views of the newly cut driveway leading from the pad to the road. It is a long driveway.


Same driveway, other end. See the huge clump of trees way back there? Our house is going to be on the other side of those trees.

This is the dogwood that is currently in bloom across the road from the entrance to our driveway. Pretty, huh?
