We're Permitted

The architect, the project manager, and the excavator were all out for a big pow-wow. Excavator told us that it would probably be about two weeks before he could start digging at our place, so a little longer than we had hoped. One more sign of progress though, the Permit was posted.

You Have to Start Somewhere

I think today was the first physical sign that construction is taking place. Miss Utility was here to mark water lines. So with these few painted blades of grass, we are underway (hopefully the groundbreaking pictures will be more exciting).

Where to Begin?

We got an email on Monday that the permits were approved! That of course left Colleen and I with the obvious question, “Okay, now what?” Fortunately, our new Project Manager (which is way easier for me to spell than Architect) was there to help us through. According to him, they will need to get Miss Utility out here, put up some silt fence, and get on the excavator’s calendar. Also, Colleen and I were assigned some homework: pick out doors and windows. So with a little bit of guidance from our PM, we think we are going with the door pictured here, or something similar. We don’t really know/care enough about windows, so hopefully he can pick something for us that will do the trick.
