There's a hole!

It's official, we are building a house!!! There is a giant sized hole in the ground where our future house will stand. Yeah!!! I think it's finally real to Makayla. We've been told no more than 110 from start to finish. 110 days from today is February 16th (thanks for counting Dad). That will work out perfectly. It would give us about two weeks before we have to be out of the rental. Then we wouldn't have to rush and move in before everything is ready. This way we'll have time to paint the girls' room(s) like we want, hang blinds, and not feel quite so rushed.

Here are the window wells and wood for framing the footings.

Makayla could hardly contain her excitment. We had to threaten her that she could go no further forward than the sidewalk. You get an idea of the scale with her in the picture.

Piles of dirt. Oh my.

That's going to be a big basement!

The garage looks kinda funny like this.
