Our Road

We have a new road to our future house! I know it's not very exciting to many of you but to us it shows some progress! We got a great deal on some rock and a pretty good deal on some trucks and equipment so we decided to go ahead and build a good road. It is a good road and should last as long as the house stands, if not longer. The road had to be about 450 feet. That's how far off the county road our house will be. Plus we are putting in a parking area that will come off our garage for extra cars or guests to park. Here's a few pictures to show our progress -- slowly but surely. We have decided to wait to start building the house until the spring. We were getting too close to winter and we want to save a little more money before we start. I'm glad we are waiting. I don't want to rush building the last home I will probably ever live in! Crazy when you think of it that way. It better be worth it!Here it is all finished for now (below). The parking pad will be where all the tracks are at the bottom of the picture. It doesn't have the gravel on it yet. It only has the base rock. We are waiting until the basement is dug and the foundation it set to finish that part of the road!
