We now have a foundation, footing drains, have started the building of a massive stone wall on the lake side edge, a drilled well at 300 feet and 6 GPM, and some of the backfilling has started. The new driveway is in and with luck the bridge financing from the bank will be finalized next week. Up to now, this has all been on our own dime. THAT dime is getting thin...
In later posts I will post some observations and lessons learned but right now, I wanted to post some pictures to give it some context.
Hey guys, this is great! I'm jealous. Pat and I have thoroughly enjoyed building our houses and the challenge of a truely energy efficient house sounds tempting. Here's the good news, Matt.......you now have cordless drills that have a battery that last more than 20 minutes, petzels so you can see that breaker box and home heat that doesn't involve a Volkswagon engine mounted on an old ford frame to cut firewood! Ah, the '80's ........:-)
ReplyDeleteForgive me, it really is supportive and a bit jealous, but, YAyers!
