Countdown to Breaking Ground

I am finally allowing myself to get excited (again).   We have had some obstacles - our latest that our new neighbors disagreed with the way we divided our two lots and Dale had to go to the Opelika Planning Commission for approval,  he does a great job with folks and everything is approved.  To the say the least he left me at home for fear I might not be as gracious as he is!  

Mike Gardner has agreed to clear our lot and cut in our drive way....he says 10 days - I will give him 2 weeks!  He always does a great job. 

We have been looking at windows.  We THINK we have decided on Silverline by Anderson.  We are thinking of using a vinyl window with grill between the glass this time.   We have not used vinyl before but they seem to have come a long way in looks and it will be great not to have to paint them. We got to see an actual installation of them at Grand National and they are really nice.   I will have to go ahead and pick the exterior color so that I can select the window color... seems a little early but will have to get the windows ordered.   I keep telling myself to think ahead!  

Benjamin Moore here I come!  

Good graces

My builder is getting back into my good graces...if he can get this house out of the ground during July his marriage problems will improve!   We have been working very slowly.... had to reboot our house plans for a more affordable design and are very pleased with it.   Stay tuned I feel some good juju and maybe it will be started soon!
