It Just Got Real

In case there was any doubt that any of this was real, I think we can officially say we are building a house!


The construction crew has clearly hit the ground running. 


Electric and sewer was first, then foundation.


Framing will be up next


To think that we were sitting there on Sunday looking at an empty lot.


I'm going to say this blog is about to get a lot more interesting! Thanks for sticking with us through the not-so-fun part.

Hang on Tight!

Here we go. It's happening. For real. And it's going to be fast and furious (or so it seems).

The final tree was cut down yesterday, stumps ground out and brush picked up.


Sewer lines and electric will start being laid on Monday. Then comes the concrete.

Can you even believe it?!

I can't. I think our contractor might have been just as excited as us to finally get the green light!

Am I Dreaming?

I received an email last night from the city council member covering Beltrami neighborhood. The subject line was, "You have been approved!" I clicked on the email and this is what it said.


We hadn't heard from our contractor so this came as quite a surprise. Turns out it was true. We have a building permit to build our house!

This blog is about to get a lot more interesting!
