It has begun...

A hole, we have a hole! Well, a small one right now, the've only dug for sewage, but it's something. Anyhow, tomorrow we're supposed to have a bigger hole. That's right, the building of the house has begun. Our basement is scheduled to be dug tomorrow, and the basement floor and walls poured on Monday. Footings to follow shortly thereafter.

Today we met with the construction manager to go over site plan, floor plan and make final choices on cable outlets, etc. It's really starting to happen. Last week we got the official letter from our lender telling us we had indeed been approved (confirming what the pre-approval told us). We'll meet with the construction manager again in later Nov., when the house should be framed. He also hopes to have the driveway and sidewalks poured before winter really hits, so let's hope we have a tame early winter season.

Due to the building taking place in winter, it's hard to pinpoint a exact finish date, but we're still hoping for mid-Jan. Poor weather could push that in early Feb.

We'll be going by the site later tonight so I'll post some pics then.
