Ground Breaking

Presenting the location of our future home!

After much planning, decision making, running around, and waiting, as of January 3rd we own the 3 lots at 444 Moccasin in Buchanan! It was a long process full of headaches, but we are now on our way to building our dream home.

The big ground breaking was Friday, March 7th when the excavators came rolling in and began digging out the basement. Just two days into it, we have a big hole and lots of piled up dirt - a good start I'd say.

Weather and time permitting, we should be getting our basement walls poured next week. Every stage of construction is exciting to see, but I personally look forward to seeing something start forming above ground. Hopefully that will be soon!

Our lives are full of excitment with the house and a new baby due to arrive at the end of the month. Plus Matt is super busy with work and has been promoted to foreman! One could say our plates are full. I don't feel a lot of pressure or stress just yet, but I know that will all change when little Carolyn Mae makes her arrival :)

Wow! What a cool thing to be able to build your own house. I can't wait to check in and see how everything is going.

Congrats on the promotion, Matt!
