Construction began!

The day has finally arrived!  After purchasing the lots, selling our house, moving into a rental, getting our house plans finished, and trying to get a construction loan (in the mist of the mortgage crisis)......WE FINALLY BROKE GROUND THIS WEEK.  Now, we are praying for NO RAIN and completing the house in 6 months.

First day of clearing trees.  I am not a "tree hugger", but it was sad to see some of those big pines come down.
Picture of where the house will be located on the lots.  That is facing the back of the house and rear driveway.

The truck loaded with some of the pines.  Lorem and I counted the rings on one of the logs.  44 rings!

The dirt!  The kids love to climb in the dirt. So much fun.  Lorem is so excited about the house.
