Welcome!

This is an exciting time for our family! We have outgrown our current home and have decided it was time for a change. We started looking to buy a new home, but didn't find anything we "just loved". So, we decided to build one. We were so excited to find the perfect lot nestled against Burch Creek! And, we only have to move a few blocks away from where we live right now. This keeps us close to all of our friends, and the kids won't need to change schools. Habitations Home Plans created the perfect plan for our new home! Kasey Malan of Malan Homes is our builder. The site work is already underway! We hope to be in our home around the first of next year. We will keep this blog updated with pictures and eventually a camera link so we can share this experience with our family and friends.

The Footing




Well, I was pleasantly surprised when Paul told me that the footings would be poured on Friday - last Friday! So, shortly after all the rebar was tied, the truck came with the cement for the footing. Bailey went down with Paul to watch since it is pretty cool how they pump all that concrete all the way down! We had Paul's company summer party Friday, so when we returned home Saturday, the forms had been removed from the footing! It looks pretty awesome! I finally can see exactly where the house will be. I was a little confused before. Paul kept trying to tell me, and of course I just nodded, but I really didn't have much of a clue!

They should begin forming the foundation Monday or Tuesday. We are really excited to see it all finally moving along. I have to get rolling on the kitchen and tile now.
