There's still snow on the ground, but the digging has begun! Evidently, the big machines have no trouble getting through a mere six inches of frozen ground to the unfrozen ground below.
A little bit of disappointment--turns out because of required setback and the size of our walkout that they have to position the house further back on the lot than they thought. So, we'll have a longer driveway and probably no view of the pond. But, on the bright side, the house will be somewhat hidden from the road over the hill, giving us more privacy.
We took a hour-and-a-half drive down to Amishland on Monday, getting pretty lost on snow-covered gravel roads, where every mailbox read "Graber," until we finally found the right "Tim Graber," who will be building our kitchen cabinets. The decisions are definitely starting to stare us in the face now.
By the way, you could fit four of our houses in that house in the background of the one picture--it's in a different neighborhood!
