A beginning

Today we got to start building our new road for our new home. We have been on a wait and see plan for some time. This is kind of a step in faith for us. We are in the process of choosing a home and waiting for estimates and will then do some comparison shopping and probably some prioritizing. We are excited about this. I truly thought we would always be in the green house. Our green house that nearly every family in the basin has either lived in or known someone that has lived here. If the walls could talk!

By the time the kids came home from school quite a bit was done already, I wish I could put smells on here. The smell of freshly turned dirt that hasn't been dug in many generations is so awesome. It is so soft and filled our shoes and socks as we walked.
This was the first "big" rock dug out this morning. The hill we are building on is filled with giant rocks and will be interesting as we go along. We are hoping to move many of them into our future yard. And hopefully there aren't too many where things like a foundation and septic tank need to go!
This is Kevin looking at the flags he put out yesterday when he paced off the areas for house, garage, and driveway. He is looking East which will be the back of the house.

This is facing south west which will be the view from the front, hopefully also the view from a porch if all goes well.
