Slow Going

Progress has not been going as quickly as I had hoped, especially with all the dry, warm weather we've been having lately. At this point, all we have is a hole in the ground (and an expensive one at that :) ). We are supposed to have the foundation poured this week. Of course, we were also supposed to have it poured last week. I am learning that I should not expect things to move along at a pace I would like :(

It doesn't take much...

...to make me happy. After nearly a year on the new-home roller coaster, any visible progress is exhilarating. So, even though it's only a few tons of rock dumped on a muddy plat of land, Hollie and I couldn't be happier. We're supposed to have a hole in the ground by the middle of next week -- who knows how I'll react after that?!?

Aching Hands

So we signed papers for about an hour on Friday, all for the right to be thousands of dollars in debt. The good news, of course, is that we are free to make improvements on the land now. The driveway was going in today, but I have not had the camera out to take pictures. I hope to have some updates in the next day or so.
