Holy Wha!

(shout out to Katie's yankee friends)

Well, the house is coming up faster than we could've imagined! We signed our contract on August 26th, they accepted our offer on September 2nd, and we/they ordered the brick within a couple of weeks. Now, at the beginning of November, we have foundation, frames, and our lovely brick is sitting ever so comfortably in our prospective back yard. What seems to have taken forever to get started is now a little overwhelming. We'll find out next week when it will be completely done (apparently the main builder-guy has been known to predict completions within 3 days on all of his jobs). This will help immensely on our decision about our rent and lease arrangement for next year.

For now, and for those of you who haven't gone to our webpage, enjoy some pictures of the progress!!!



Our lot... in the beginning...














Then, Bobby marked it as "SOLD"



After that, we got a sign...



They leveled it all out...



And then there were trenches


They put in plumbing


They put plastic and wires over the odd boxes


And then one day, we came to visit and had foundation...


...and bricks!


This week, we've developed a frame, which makes that ambiguous slab look MUCH bigger.


That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed the update! Happy November!!! =)
