Tomorrow they are pumping the septic this is already on our land. They have to do it in order to work to lengthen the drain line. Heck, I don’t blame them…can you imagine?? ugh.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS;
I think I could drive it to school.
I think this might be more fun than [...]
We are really on our way now!!! The county septic dude came out today to let us know where our septic line is and how we can increase it. It has a permit for a two bedroom and we wanted a three.
This is a picture of the county guy, with our land guy [...]
Happy Mother’s Day to our friends who are mothers and their mothers. No construction today, just destruction. We are packing up some things and taking them to our storage area. Good bye winter clothes.
Happy Mother’s Day Diane and Debbie.
Added this afternoon: I just found where I can see how many come and [...]

We gave our down payment to the contractor. We faxed our floor plan to the house builder, and he is suppose to fax us a contract and approved floor plan today. Then we have the grading and septic done….and wait …..and wait….for the permits.
We have decided to go with as many propane items as possible. [...]
The shell of the house will be made of white pine that we will stain later. It has an open floor plan, but not as open as it shows here. Downstairs will be a bath and bedroom with an open living room, dining room and kitchen. Upstairs will be a bedroom, bath and [...]
We looked at flooring today and cannot decide on what to do. There is wonderful vinyl that costs more than carpeting. There is carpeting that costs more than the average college education. There is wood. We are looking for creative alternatives. One friend said she saw plywood squares that had been nailed at the corners, [...]
We are a thither here. The project estimate came in $12,000 over what we have to spend. So, back to the drawing table. We need to see about cutting some corners. We don’t really need fresh water do we? And insulation is just a waste of money right? And electricity is over rated isn’t it?
