Check out my new house....




And here's my builder and I, enjoying a beer on my new "front porch"...


Wahoo...they actually started the dig yesterday and for fun we all went down to the site to see the hole. Julie brought her camera and took some pictures for posterity ( better known as a scrapbook). I'm standing with a beer in my hand and I don't even drink but we are celebrating the big event so I just held it for the picture. You can't tell but I am standing on what will be my front porch which will run the front of the house so if I have tons of old men coming to call I will have room for their rocking chairs ....and mine too. I looked at this picture and decided I need a smaller size jeans as these do look kind of big for me. Isn't the builder a cutie?? He's a really nice "young" man and is a delight to be around as is his brother and sister who are the company all rolled into one. I'll keep posting the good news of the progress as the dirt pile grows larger and larger. Gosh just think of all the fun I can have with the g-kids with our pails and shovels. See you soon.

The happy homeowner smile is all over your face! Or is that because of that little hottie standing next to ya? Or maybe you've really been nipping and sipping that beer when nobody is lookin'? Either way, I'm really happy for you, and how exciting it must be to be building your own new home!!! I'll be anxiously waiting for updates and photos :)

This is so exciting! It reminds me of my hole in the ground moment too. I can't believe it has already been 10 years since we built this home. You look wonderful by the way. So does your builder! LOL Best, Curt

I know how excited you must be! A new beginning. It will be wonderful to see your new home come out of that hole! Hoping the months just fly by and you are living large in your new house!

It looks like things are finally going. I hope they get it framed in before the snow flies.
So are you having a big RUBBER room included in this new house?
