Day 3 - No Other Foundation

Yesterday, this wht was done on our lot.  The footers were put in so that the basement walls can be installed.  By them you can see the outline of the house.
But as I was looking, I was wondering, how do they get the electricity in the house...hmmmm
uiii

There is the truck, but where is the trucker?

Hmmmm....

A neighbors foundation

They began two weeks ago, but here is what ours will look like.

Let the Digging Begin

Well digging begins tomorrow and we are so excited. With baby LJ home our attention is now on building our dream home. I rode passed there yesterday and took some snap shots.
The pictures are of the foundation stones and the gravel rocks that represents the driveway. Also a picture of the lot. Ground breaking is schedule for today, I will drive by and see what progress is made.
Family, keep us in prayer, we have obstacles in the way but no doubting, our dream home will come thru because the God we serve is the Almighty God.

Permit-Update

Well the permits are finally in. But here is the problem...DR Horton sold 18 homes.  So the county will only release a few at a time and the selection is their choice.  They will let the builder know by today or tomorrow.

The builder insured us that building wil take 75 to 90 days approximate. They are increasing their staff and will be working overtime to get all 18 plus the model up. 

I pray that we be one of the first but God knows what is best so no worries there.

Permit Status

Update:  the building permit applications was excepted on 2/14/2013.  Any day now they will start the build.

Waiting

Well, I went to visit my Sales Rep on Saturday...she told me that the building permits wouldn't be in until February.  My wife wasn't happy one bit.  Because this pushes the expected closing around late April early May. With the baby on the way, she wanted to be in the house.  I feel her empathy. So currently they have 15 additional home to build plus the model, which they don't have permits for as of yet.

To another topic, about a month ago we meet with CV Security, to discuss security options and electrical wiring and pre-wire for home theater. They tried to sell us the vacuum cleaner that is integrated into your home.  Too expensive to justify the cost for me. To protect my home and my family I went with there best option at a fair price.
