And so it begins...















Alhough the permit process seems to be holding us up at the moment, some work has begun on the house. The front 'sunken' patio has been dug out, as well as the front door entry way. This week, they should begin excavation and demo in the house as well as pointing the bricks.

It was an eventful weekend. Our project manager and general contractor, spent a long time with us on Sunday at the house going over our plans and the work to be done over the next month. We even brought along both of our moms to check out the house and the neighborhood. It will be much easier to envision actual rooms once the floors and foundation are in. Updated pics are attached.

The House is Ours!






After a very, very long process, we finally closed on the house on Monday, March 8, 2010. Work should begin on the house right away. Please continue to check in for updates! To begin, here are some pictures of the shell as it is now.
