So, we're still working cleaning up the lot. No digging has happened yet. Last week, our dig date was given to another Noah Herman Sons client :). And the business comes first, right? No big deal though because we still need our building permit...and Chad has been swamped with work lately, so it may be another few weeks before we even get that. Although it would be fun to get things going...it's nice not to be rushed or have a timeline with this house.
Here was the lot yesterday...a gorgeous day of 65 degrees and sunny! Our house will be framed by the two big trees.
Here's our wood pile (so far). And neighbor Louie :) off to the left. He's probably upper 60's/low 70's, originally from Hungary, but worked for CAT for years. He's now retired and loves to "shoot the breeze". Chad has gotten to know him a little over the past few months and really likes him. He's laid back, friendly, and just a do-it-yourself kinda guy. He told Chad yesterday, "I had to take a break from working outside today cause we're going out tonight." :) - Such a cute old man.
The ravine that soon will be a lake!
Chad made this seat out of a tree stump :). He says it'll be right at the waters edge...
perfect for sitting back and fishing.
Last pic at the lot...a nasty deer skeleton that I kept running into.
Just proof that deer are on this property!
Then, last night Chris and Amanda hosted a mystery dinner called "Murder at Mardi Gras". It was so fun! They always come up with crazy ideas for the posse to dress up and be silly. There were lots of laughs as everyone played out their characters. And Traever ended up being the murderer...doesn't he look so suspicious in this picture?
And here are the couples:
And, my baby bump :). I haven't taken a pic since about 12 weeks, and thought it was about time. The first pic to the left is when I was pregnant with Livie at 23 weeks. The pic to the right is from today...at 23 weeks. A little bigger with #2!
