Starting a bit later than planned

I originally had thought we would begin digging this week, however we needed our new plans signed off on. The energy code was not correct for the town so we needed that changed as well. The land is now staked and next week they will begin to clear, and of course I pray they also begin to dig. I hope there are no more snags (wishful thinking) I really don't want to be in limbo a month after the baby is born... I am SO happy we have decided to go with a general contractor, this could have been ugly had we attempted to do it ourselves.

change of plans

Due to conservation we had to move the garage to the front of the home. I didn't mind it since the alternative was to face the home towards the woods. On Tuesday the new placement will be stamped for approval and they will stake it out to prepare for excavation. There is also a 5 year moratorium on the road so we can not bring gas in until 2016, of course... In the mean time we will get propane so we are still able to have a gas stove, heat and dryer. In 2016 we will convert to save on heating costs. We will not be burying the propane tank because to dig up our lawn in a years time just isn't logical. We will hide it elsewhere or under the Juliet porch. I am so excited to break ground!
