Building a house!!

Hey everyone!!!  This is L...

So last time I put a post on here it was about removing a stain..........WOW!!  I thought that I would post something about what is going on in my neck of the woods.
My husband and I are building a house!  We bought this beautiful lot, but it is covered, and when I say covered I mean its covered with a shit ton of trees and bushes!!

See......

soooo we have been about a month behind schedule because this lovely county we live in only has 1 person to approve new building permits!!  how exciting right??  Wrong!!!
anyways....so finally we got our permits and the clearing of the lot has taken place.....picture below!

I was a little  bummed at how many trees we had to get rid of, but we had to get rid of them so that they could put the foundation down.....bummer, but what can you do?!

this process took so damn long though!!! that piece of machinery that you see in the picture up above...broke about 3 times in 2 weeks.....we were getting really bugged!! but they finally got a decent piece of equipment and got the job done as far as they could before they have to come back and finish the work after the house is up!!

so now they have got the grading done and are going to start putting down the foundation this week!! hallelujah!!! 

this is where our driveway is going to be.....

but this is as far as we are right now and hopefully this week we will see some walls up!!
I will keep you posted on how the progress is coming!!

see you soon :)
