Building has begun...

Prior to closing, we got the final staking of the house done...

 & the electrical pole went in...

& then it was just waiting for closing.  So on closing day, the excavator was literally waiting for our call so digging could begin!

By the end of day 1, the hole was done!  Amazing what a back hoe & a dozer can do in a day...

& next up was getting the footings poured.

We are lucky Ed & Nora are close to help document the building process while we are in the cities... but we were anxious to get down & check it out after the first week!

Ed even managed to get one last crop of hay off the field surrounding the building site!
