Culverts, Soil Sample and a Sign

We have had some movement going on this week with the house. I finally feel like we’re getting closer to breaking ground! Good thing because the walls of this apartment seem to be closing in on us some days. We have been staying busy, but just one day with all 4 of us at the apartment together and we’re all climbing the walls. I keep having to remind myself that it could be worse and it is only temporary.

The first thing we got this week were the culverts delivered. Soon we’ll be able to drive onto the property without going through the ditch! A soil sample was also taken. They take 2 fifteen feet deep samples to test the soil and see what the different layers consist of. Then that determines how much and what kind of dirt work is needed to prep the area for the foundation. Who knew ALL of this stuff needed to be done, right??!?!? I sure didn’t!

Then, the builder came by and stuck their sign in the yard. I don’t know why but that kind of made it feel “official”.

We also met with them to finalize any changes to our preliminary plan so that they could have the architect start drawing up the official plan. We’re getting closer!!
