Old House, New House




Many of you have asked about the new house. It is a work in progress. We have a five year plan. Basically we will have it completely finished in five years. Right now we are working on the roads coming in to the property, and making a second road to access Hillcrest, which is another way into town. The plans are being drawn up for grading. Grading plans alone we found out will take up to a year. Yikes! After that we can focus on working with the architect and building. We are planning to leave a couple walls up, but that is about it. Nothing about this little house will be the same. The front yard will become the backyard. We have a gorgeous view from the front of the house and Heather wants her backyard with pool there. We hope to start construction on the house in about two and a half years. That is it in a nutshell. The new house is about 1300 square feet. We are very cozy here, getting used to tight quarters, but it won't be forever. We miss our old house and friends next door! It just takes a little more planning to see our friends now! We are up for this exciting adventure in our life. We just started looking for renters for our other home. Not ready to sell right now. Who knows, Heather might just want to move back (by herself!) Just Kidding!
