Ground Clearing

The trees came down on Monday. We found out that 2 of the 4 were completely hollow inside, so that made us feel a little better about having to take them down... The rest of this week they've been working on leveling the lot and getting the footprint of the house ready for the foundation (which won't start until early May). Definitely making progress! We are also finalizing the house plans (why we can't start the foundation until May), picking out the lighting fixtures, starting to look at tile/marble/granite, and finalizing brick and shingle selection. Lots of fun!

Brush Clearing

They began clearing brush from the lot on Friday! Sadly the trees come down on Monday. Here's a final look at how big they are, put into perspective by the digger (I think? I'm trying to learn my trucks/equipment now that I have a son...).

Finally!

We got the "green light" from the Historic Dilworth Commission yesterday to begin building! Yippee! Four times was the charm afterall... Sadly, removing a number of large and beautiful trees is required, which will begin on Monday.

Keep tuned in for what we hope will be fast and furious progress going forward!
