Breaking Ground!

Earlier plans to build closer to the stream require building very close to the natural gas well. Not wanting to risk blowing ourselves to kingdom come provided some thoughtful conversations like What the hell were we thinking!!!! Also, in really looking over the spot there appeared to be some drainage and water issues that would be costlier than anticipated. We reviewed our options and choose a flat spot on an upper bench area of our property. It's a bit closer to our rural road than I'd like but well separated by trees from what little traffic we have here. Morris Hanks, our friend and builder, is operating the excavator.

    Would you mind sharing your final square footage? And if you eliminated anything?

      Final square footage including covered porches...3800. Roof had to be raised with pony walls so attic could be built out too. We use it for storage as we are empty-nesters. We eliminated many of the French doors and do not miss a one. Most became windows or extra feet of wall space of which there is very little in the plans. Would love to hear where you are building, etc. bbwilson66@gmail.com
