We have progress !!

Things are finally happening! We met with Mickey on Monday to discuss the placement of the house and driveway. The plan was for them to come out later that week to put in stone for the the temporary driveway and to scrape the area where the house will be. The building permits are taking forever to get from Williamson County, a month and half later and I think they are finally coming through. We also had to make a decision on where to put the electrical pole for the transformer...Which took me a day and a half to decide! Scary considering all the decisions I will have to make in the months to come....
Yikes, I hope my husband is still around once the house is built, I might just drive him CRAZY!!

 Time for some PICTURES!! Photo creds to the Hubs.

 Mickey's Sign....Things are getting real !! This time next year we will be IN OUR NEW HOME!!

Working with Dad

Today my dad and I went out to the land to clear a portion of the existing barbed wire fence that is along the road front. Whew...that was not an easy task. We cleared out four eight foot sections and took out three posts. Thorn bushes, cedar trees and lot of vines and nasty weeds were tangled among the barbed wire. Even though it was hard work we enjoyed each others company and made a great team.

When we arrived we were surprised to see the septic area was already sectioned off. Bigger than I expected but there is still plenty of room for the house. :-)

Big pile is nasty weeds and brush we cleared.

Dad hard at work!

New spot cleared for the driveway.

We used the stakes from the fence to show were we want the house to go up.

Hard to see but they are there! 

After all the hard work we had dinner to celebrate the progress, salmon, green beans and a chocolate ganache CAKE!! from Whole Foods.
