Now we are movin'!!

Well, there is no turning back now! Katie and I drove out to the property on Tuesday night to meet with our mason. The footers were poured on Monday and even though we had lots of rain, everything looked OK. We decided where the vents would go and where the opening we wanted would be placed. The mason will actually take care of all of that for us. That is a relief. I was disappointed to find out that the other maple I was trying to save had to be taken down. It was close to the foundation and when doing some site work, our excavator had to cut some of the major roots and he felt the tree would not make it. We will plant someting there to replace it! We hope things with the foundation will be close to finished shortly after the Fourth of July.

Here are some photos of our trip on Tuesday.
