The house is under way! The builder broke ground on Monday July 19. They have been working hard and long hours moving a lot of dirt. The footers are in and the last time I checked on progress, they were running the utilities to the house. Separate trenches had to be dug each for water, sewer, power, telephone/cable, and natural gas. They had already dug a trench for the electric (on the same side of the property where the previous was hooked up) when the inspector made them move the electric hook up to the other side (oops!) Good thing that they did ask if we wanted to keep the well porch--they've been digging around it.
I have always loved Victorian houses, but my husband doesn't want the upkeep of one. Plus we don't want to move our daughter out of her school district. Compromise: build a new house that looks like an old house. This blog is to document our progress.
