It was probably overkill but, we want the peace of mind of knowing we're giving Wayne and our home the best shot possible of being a soundly constructed house. We shared our concerns with Tracy and she was very accommodating. We decided on March as the prospective "Dig Month" - Good thing too! The weather continued to howl and a home being built by Wayne within the same neighborhood dug in late January and they still haven't started framing.
As I said, the weather has been MUCH different than last winter in these parts and it's snowed close to every-other-day since our closing date. Fast forward to Saturday, February 23 when I receive a phone call from Tracy. She called to check in to see how our lot prep was going because the building permit is ready and they had an opening on the dig calendar on Thursday, Feb. 28!!!!
Much to my dismay, the weather has kept us from getting very much of the lot prep done so, we're unable to take Thursday's date. Excitingly, however, today is a gorgeous 40 degree sunny day. I spoke with our excavator this morning who is moving the equipment to our lot today and plans to install the silt fence and scrape the lot tomorrow with the expectation of the driveway being done within days after that!
Tuesday mornings, Tracy has meetings with the construction manager and we'll learn what our new dig date will be! I can't believe this is all finally happening!
For your amusement, below is a picture of what the LFD did with vehicle when he ran out to drop the silt fence of at the lot. You'll understand why no one hasn't wanted to take giant machinery out there and start digging around!
Until Next Time!
Ciao!
