As you can tell, I have updated the blog. The background is our original picture of the lot for our new home, and the insert is an image of Falls Lake, which will be just down the street from our new home! In the past few weeks the weather has gotten colder, as expected. This weekend is our first COLD weekend...today's high was ~ 55 and the low is supposed to be 36! There was a light rain most of the day as well...Hopefully next week is dry and they can continue moving forward on the house.
Below is the background pic of of our wooded lot, from 9/30/2014...before the leaves started turning.
We have been eagerly awaiting our next step in the process..clearing the land. And this week was the week...our land is cleared. See the photos below!
For some reason I could not get the two pictures to post side-by-side, so this is as close as it is going to get. You can't tell from the pics, but the land does slope back a decent amount. There is about 50ft of trees remaining in the back of the lot, and they cleared the area for the future pool as well (back right of the lot). As you can see, the trees are turning...it is Fall. The driveway will be pretty much in the middle of the lot, and the house will be on the right part of the lot.
We walked around the lot w/ our boots on, and got pretty muddy since it had been raining most of the morning.
The house should be ~ 25ft off the property line, and the house next door is about the same...hard to tell in the pic.
It was very exciting to see some progress on our new home. Hopefully in the next week or two (if it dries out) they can start the foundation, and we can see some vertical progression!
Aside from the house, I have been trying to get back in shape. Last week, I started working out before work. Yes, I get up 30 minutes earlier than I need to (5am) to work out. It's the only time that I can consistently fit working out in my day. After work, Juliet demands my time, and after she goes to bed, I am generally not in the mood to work out anymore. I have been doing the Focus T25 videos for two weeks now, and so far so good. Will keep you posted.
Later All!
