Progress.....

Well, folks, the Smiths are no longer residing in the Colony. We have downgraded to a way-retro ranch in Mt. Vernon until our home is completed.

And on the homefront, last week saw some progress on our lot! Monday afternoon Anna and I got to see the truck carrying the big yellow bulldozer pull up and drop it off. The next day stakes were laid out and a survey completed, then Wednesday they started scraping sod!




This week we've met with the contractor supervising the building process and it seems just about everything is on schedule. (Although he did say he had to have the foundation dug WAY low - to the point where we will be resting on solid rock.) Gravel has been brought in and spread out, the perimeters have been marked and the footers should be poured this week. Then the slab for the garage will be poured and then the framers come in and things get really exciting!




We're thanking God for this scretch of nice, dry, sunny weather and praying it holds for another week or so! The girls are in Pennsylvania visiting my family, so Earl and I have had time to sort out the craziness that resulted from moving as well as cleaning this rental that has been largely uninhabited for the past two years. It's not pretty, but it works.

Starting this Friday is Spring Break....and might I say - "HALLELUJAH!"
