We broke ground...literally!



We got up this morning ready to show our house to some lady. She ended up standing us up which sucks. Then we headed off to the lot to break ground and begin leveling the lot. I stopped by Bartons to pick up our cabinetry estimate...which was $23,000! INSANE! The estimate we recieved from All About Kitchen's and Baths was $8000. And we liked their stuff so much better! So it's an easy choice who we will go with! Travis borrowed a big tractor from a guy he knows that's building right down from us. He had the time of his life up there driving that big tractor around. He worked several hours to scrape off the top layer of soil, weeks, roots, etc. We didn't have to actually dig yet but we will have to dig out like 5 feet of soil when we get ready for the driveway. We are supposed to get the footings put in next Monday!
