One year (and now it's 2 1/2 yrs) and so happy it is passed.. though I do look back at our 5 months in the camper with fond memories.
It was enjoyable having fires in our fireplace outside in the mornings. Nothing more peaceful than coffee outside with a nice fire. I was impressed with how I learned to successfully start it too.
With my new laptop back in 2015 I had a difficult time getting pictures added to this blog...I got so frustrated I gave up ... now i have the desire to chronicle again.. so I had to give it a try and I am not sure if I've just gotten more savy with my new laptop... but I am able to find and load pictures to the blog... I am sure I won't remember every thing but the pictures are sure a great way to relive events.
The work began on readying for our house...June 2015
The Excavation begins... Juel Wilcox a very experienced excavator did or digging...we had problems with the foundation guy we hired...he was coming from Cloquet and was too busy to come and confer with juel... so they talked over the phone..it turned out the depth for the garage slab was a couple inches off...(or something like that) . we went with him because he was 10K cheaper than anyone else and came highly recommended by the Wisconsin Homes Salesman we worked through... it turned out to cost us almost that much anyway because of his not coming and talking in person.
It was so exciting to see the actual place where our home will be!

It was a busy time with all the workers here... the young men that the foundation guy hired were all so sweet and polite....
I am trying to find the pictures from the well drilling...that was super cool... I have a video of them hitting water...
