Well, we have broken ground! The excavator was here yesterday to dig out the house site and is finishing up the shop site today. He has covered up the septic and is burying the culvert to re-route the irragation ditch. Tomorrow he will bring in rock and get the driveway cutout and everything rocked in before the rains start. Margie , our contractor, has the foundation crew scheduled and they hope to pour foundation this next week. Max the cat has taken for the hills, untill the contractors dog is gone. Meanwhile lumbar prices continue to go down! We are thankful for God's hand on us and this process. Patience is a virtue. Of course, the satillite dish being installed today will help David's spirits!
