Staked

Yesterday the lot was bulldozed to clear a flat area for digging/pouring, and the lot boudaries and house footprint were staked. We chose to angle the house so that the back will look out down the treeline to the left and give us maximum view and privacy in the backyard. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me this visit. The floor plan outlines were spray-painted on the ground and flagged so it was easier to visualize what it will be like.

One other thing I noticed was that the dirt looks nice and dark... I suppose it should since it was a farm field for various crops up until about 5 months ago. Anyway they will pile up what they scraped on the sides of the lot so that they can put it back on top of the fill that we bring in.

How exciting! I can only imagine. And just think, maybe next summer you'll have some crops that just reseed themselves. It happens all the time. Free produce!

That would be nice especially since that might be the only vegetation that yard sees this summer! Aside from the weeds of course...
