Building progress post

I promised you all building progress pictures. This is the front of our property before anything has been done. It is quite ugly at the front, because the trees don't start till around 100 feet back. We intend to get rid of the weeds at the front and plant grass and eventually trees.

This is the beginning of the house hole. A friend is running the front loader. (I think that is what it is called.)

Graveling our really long driveway. The soil is so rocky up here that we are just scooping dirt off of our property to gravel the driveway. Well, not we. Our good front loading friend is.

We are standing in our home! I don't know if you can read the sign, but it says "Home Sweet Home". Yay for beginning! (And yay for not being able to see my hideous muddy boots in this picture. They are very practical but definitely not chic!)

So basically, at this point, we have a driveway and a basement. What more do we need?? We even have a fire ring. We should just go ahead and rent a truck and move our stuff! Not. It's exciting to have gotten started, but there is a LONG road ahead. Wish us luck!
