Skagit,

Keep us up to date on your progress and congratulations. It must feel good to actually "see" your home is becoming a reality. You must be in warm weather land being able to have concrete poured...

Well it's not warm but not really cold here either. Temps coming up are highs in the 40's and lows in the mid 30's. But the wind this year has been rough. The footings and stem walls will be finished by the end of next week. Too bad we're heading to New England for a week starting today. Hate to miss all the action. But will be quite a change when we get back. Tom

Tom, sounds like it's coming right along. We had our foundation poured back in August and we are only now getting to a point where it's beginning to look more and more like a home. We are almost done with the framing and we just dug lines for electric and water. The bulk of the work is being done by my husband and I but we have friends that have helped us and we are so thankful for that. It seems as though at the end of each week we can see that we have indeed made progress. When we first started this we had hoped to be moved in by Jan 1st but we knew a month ago that we would need 2 or 3 more months. If there is one thing that I have learned through this process it is that all bets are off as to a move in date :) Keep us posted on your progress.

Tom--I have read your previous posts and I'm very interested in the design of your new house--especially the kitchen. Good luck with the construction and post pics when you can!
