Found Rear Elevation Picture

Thank you for the email responses about the Blog, we are glad you like it! I was able to find an electronic copy of the rear elevation. However, the picture is in Brick, we are not using Brick on the house, but at least it gives you an idea. Here's to hoping the land scape looks just as nice!

Once Upon A Time

I know the title is a little Cheesy, but it feels like Mike and I are ready to walk into our own fairy tail. We are so excited to start the house. We decided to create this blog so that for anyone who wants, they can check back every few weeks and see pictures get updates and keep track of where Mike and I are! I have really good intentions to keep the Blog updated, but also keep in mind I will be neck deep in construction too, so if there hasn't been an update in a while and you just cannot bear to wait another day to see the house, stop by and see us (but be careful, you may find yourself with a paint brush or hammer in hand, HAHA).

I know many of you have been asking when we will be breaking ground; I finally have an answer for you!!!! We met with our contractor last night, February 13th (who by the way is my Uncle Chuck, for those of you who didn't know that already). He said that as long as the weather cooperates he is expecting to break ground toward the middle of April. So please keep your fingers crossed that we have seen the worst of winter already!

Now for the fun part and the Million Dollar Question???, WHAT DOES THE HOUSE LOOK LIKE! Well I am pleased to say we found an electronic image of the front of the house and an electronic version of the floor plan. See the pictures below. We are open for any and all suggestions. Obviously we do not do this every day and we are counting on our friends and family to steer us in the right direction. And NO, none of Mike’s dead animal mounts will be going anywhere upstairs, I have to draw the line somewhere!
