Well, I guess you can say the building of our house has finally begun. We stopped by the property on Tuesday morning (June 28). Our hearts gave a little flutter when we saw a bulldozer sitting there beside a huge pile of dirt. This is stage one and what they call "scraping the surface". We figured things would really be rolling along now.
But, later in the day we discovered...there had been a delay. It seems the inspector who has to sign off on the building permit neglected to tell our builder, when he talked to him on Thursday, that he would be leaving on vacation Monday morning. So until the inspector is back, no hole can be dug. They were able to stake out the house....that means putting little stakes all over the property showing where the house begins and ends...but the real digging cannot begin until next week. So, we wait.
In the meantime life goes on. We had a nice, but short visit with Sange and her family on Sunday as they came thru on their way home from northern MI. That is one of the cool things about MI...it is on the way to other places. Because of that we fully expect to have frequent guests stopping by on their way somewhere or other. (HINT)
Today I woke up thinking it was Friday, the day that my sister and brother-in-law were coming to visit....I stripped Nina's bed and threw the sheets into the washing machine before I realized I was a day ahead...it is only Thursday. So we piled into the car and headed to the girls swim meet.
I'm hoping this blog will get more exciting...don't give up on us yet. I mean, how exciting can digging a hole in the ground...even a big hole....be?
