Here we go!

Our driveway was installed yesterday!!! It is so exciting seeing SOMETHING happen on the land. Even if we aren't ready to build yet! The driveway installation did have a few snags. Our guy was thinking that it was dry enough to just put smaller rock in but then a gravel truck sank and it all had to be dug up. Kyle is thinking there might be a spring where the truck sank because water just kept coming up! So we had to get a few loads of bigger rock to stabilize that area. We also ended up getting a longer culvert pipe than we planned. The township is working with us because there was a lot of wash out from the ditch that runs down the hill. They are going to pay for about 1/3 of the culvert pipe since we extended it for their benefit.

Next step is to get the field mowed so the electric company can trench their line back to the house. I didn't want to get too excited, but there was some hunting that if everything goes right we could be digging the week of the 28th!!!!


Oh yeah, the driveway was done while we were both at work, so this is the only picture I got....
