And up go the walls

We're so proud of the skilled craftsman she's becoming....

Framing is going well, first level is almost complete. No thanks to the rainiest August on record (thanks a bunch mother nature) They're set to start framing the second level this week. It's quite exciting seeing the house take shape.

A solid base

Foundation is almost done. After some setbacks due to the heaviest rain of the year (we weren't quite ready for the swimming pool just yet), we're hoping for better weather this week to keep on track. Backfill should happen in the next couple days and then we'll be set to start framing. 

Digging a hole

Now that's what you call cheap labour (it only took her 2 days!)...excavation went smoothly and is complete. The foundation work will start in the next couple days. Soon we'll have a basement.

And we're off!

Look at us closing a city road...we apologize to the residents of Queensdale. Digging started today (finally). They're hooking up to the services so the road had to be cut. Should start breaking ground on our lot shortly. Thank you Luciano!

How do we make this reality?....

Stay tuned....

It's a go....

After months of planning and drawing (and perhaps some differences of opinion here and there) plans are done and City approved!

We have a lot

October 2009- the lot is ours. Ready or not Blossom Park, here we come...Time to come up with a "plan".
