Moving fast!

It's been a wild weekend! Tim Whitfield Construction from Longview, TX arrived and *attacked* the homesite with his crew. As of this afternoon, the "stacking" logs should be finished. I can't express enough how efficient these guys are. They really know what they're doing, and it's obvious they have done it MANY times before. Next up is the interior framing and then the trusses. More to come......

Foundation and well




We finally have the beginnings of a foundation and water well. Hill Country Water Well in Briggs, TX has drilled our well to a depth of 580 feet. It's cased and ready to have the pump and tanks installed! Satterwhite returned yesterday to finish digging the footings, and then 3 trucks delivered 30 yards of concrete to fill them in. A & W Well and Water from Bertram, TX is beginning work on installing the well storage and pressure tanks and the pump. Next up....the septic! Still waiting to hear when construction on the foundation and everything above it will begin -- hopefully next week!
