Making Progress

Things have been going along pretty well lately. The windows have been cut out of the foundation and the plumbing was dug and buried this past week. We are waiting for the contractor to stick build the front of the basement; but the concrete floor needs to be poured first. Trudeau's was there this past week prepping the basement floor so that our contractor can lay the infloor heating in and have the floor poured. He should be building the front basement wall after that. We are on the schedule for our well also. They said they are 2-3 weeks out and Trudeau's says that is perfect for them. I'm hoping that they don't have to dig to far for the well. They gave us a standard quote and we are hoping that it doesn't cost that much. It would be our only saving grace!!! Anyway, I'm getting a little nervous because it is starting to get cold here and I just want to make sure that all the digging is done before the ground freezes. This weekend, Taylor and I are cutting down more trees..ugh! I'm so sick of cutting down trees and hauling them halfway across the lot. We have to cut down the largest tree on the property tomorrow. We thought we could get away with keeping it, but it turns out that it is just not going to work. With the trees being the last of my manual labor on this house for a little bit, I've started looking at lighting and flooring options. It is really difficult to make decisions on this stuff when you can't visualize what the inside of your house is going to look like. I just don't want to wait until the house gets here to start making these decisions, as I know some items need to be specially ordered. Anyway, it also keeps my mind busy; otherwise I'd be going stir crazy wondering when our house will be here! Enough for now...I'll post more pictures after we cut our tree down!
