Week 4.2: Houston, we have liftoff!

It was only yesterday we reported the city would be approving our permits, but we had no idea that the builder would be digging our hole today!

Earlier in the day we received a call from Susan telling us the builder planned to start construction on the property. When we stopped by our lot after work, we couldn't believe there were actually trucks, front loaders, people, and big piles of dirt all over the place. Finally after weeks of waiting, something is happening!

We decided to tromp around the lot, construction workers and all; which, by the way, is a strange feeling. Up to this point we've known this is our land and future home, but knowing it and seeing it are two different things. We walked right into the construction zone no questions asked and poked around, sizing up the house in relation to the lot. We're happy to report that thus far we've very pleased with what we saw!

In celebration of this first big step, we are posting a photo of our new "home". Enjoy!
