Day 7...

No pictures, just use your imagination for this one...we have a well. Not extremely exciting, but hey it's one more thing to check off our list and who doesn't like indoor plumbing! Another step closer to that dishwasher and second bathroom :)

I Can't Believe What My Eyes Saw Today...

Yes, I actually saw trucks, dirt being moved, a "tractor thing", men standing around talking about where something should go or which way something should be moved,(you know those things that guys talk about when they are standing around), a big metal thingy that goes under the driveway to help the water drain(I think), and the best of all a dump truck unloading one load of gravel!! Yes, we have what looks to be the first signs of a driveway. And since I wasn't sure if this could be called our "official first day of building" I decided that without a driveway big trucks and "tractor things" and men can't drive onto our property and talk about where things should go and build our house or dig our well and all that other stuff that needs to get done before I can actually have a dishwasher or second bathroom. So I am declaring today our official first day(even though they were only on our property about an hour!). Work has been done and we are on our way!!!!!

A few days...A month...

So it is now November 16th, exactly one month since I posted about being days away from getting our house started, and we have NOT started building our house, hmm. So when I said we were a few days away, obviously I did not know what I was talking about. Nothing is wrong, just slow. Very slow. Dean heard today that we have our final approval from the Bank and they just need a couple of documents from our builder, and then...well, then I have no idea. I assume we close on the loan and they will start, but for some reason I have this feeling they(the Bank) are going to ask for some other document and it will then take a few more months, I mean days. Anyway, God is good, we are all healthy, and He is teaching us lots of patience!
