Laying out the house!!!

We met with the builder yesterday to lay out where the house will sit on the property. That was exciting. I haven't really been on our part of the property in a while - I like to wait until the weather gets cooler...that way most of the animals/creatures have gone into hiding! At least I hope so!!! In the pictures you can see where the posts are - we placed one at what will be each corner of the house. We have been approved for the construction loan, but are still waiting for one last thing to get cleared up with the land - the county is slow!!!

This is what our view will be from the front porch...beautiful!

This picture shows the posts that are the front 2 corners of the house.
This picture shows where our driveway will be and the 2 front and one side post/corners.
This picture shows the 2 side posts. Yes, we will be losing all of these trees, but we hope we will be able to save a beautiful oak on the other side in the front. We had to shift the house over a little farther than we originally planned, but it is a beautiful tree!
