December 20: Work has begun!

Things are finally falling into place and construction has begun on our new home. Today, the base for the driveway,the initial scraping for the foundation and contouring the site for proper drainage got underway. Charlcie enjoyed visiting with the four-legged companion of the bulldozer guy - a very large, but very gentle and carefree English mastiff.
Won't bore with the day-to-day progress on the home, but will update periodically.
