What a thrill! Spy - are you going to be able to initial and date your cement? Can you put your pooches' pawprints in it?

How wonderful... I'm really happy for you. Bet you wish there was an Extreme Home Makeover crew hiding out around the corner, huh? Oh well, July will be here before you know it!

Everyday, twice a day! I live about 1/4 mile and it is barely out of my way. All the guys recognize my silver SUV

I finally got all of the pictures in order and labeled. I have the entire project in albums on Snapfish.com if anyone would like to view them, email me (in profile) and I will send you the e-invitation. Otherwise, here are the "summary" shots:
(This one above is in the evening of the 25th - the text didn't save)

I've met a lot of people actually. The neighbors on both sides, the couple on the corner, the ones across the street, and 3 other families from around the neighborhood. The "couple from the corner" actually took a bunch of pictures for me when I was gone to Chicago so I wouldn't miss anything!

Oh! And I talked with one neighbor about sharing the cost of our commonside fence and he was onboard with that. The bad thing is that it is the neighbor to the left (when looking at the pictures) and that side of the fence will be minimal because I am fencing less than halfway up the side of the house because of my electrical meter (I don't want that in the backyard). I mentioned the fence option to the other neighbor on the right and he was a bit less receptive. I have to set that up in the next 2 weeks, so I'll approach him again.

Wow, they really move quickly. Before you know it, you'll be moving in, Spy. Remember to enjoy the process. Sounds like you picked yourself some nice neighbours, too.

I'm actually building 6 homes! I'll need all the expert advice you have Spy! Our builder just left and answered alot of my concerns over this project but there are still alot of unknowns that the excavator will have to address. The first one will be starting about September 15th! I have to sell or tear down and move all the cabins after the 28th of August, get a temporary road put in, take down alot of trees... most have to come down are dead from an oak disease. Yikes! I never really thought this would be happening!! Heres a picture of the floor plans:

RG, wow! I had forgotten how awesome your floor plans are! I can't wait to see the pictures as you start the tear down and construction process. Make sure you start a thread and take pictures (a la Trading Spaces style) of the entire process. I'm a severely frustrated today, but that's to be expected I suppose. We're 2 weeks from the close date and I think all the subcontractors are sharing one brain. Nothing has been done on the house in 2 days...the brick is still stacked in the yard, the driveway hasn't been poured, the interior paint was finished on Monday but the flooring guys are 2 days late, the bathroom cabinet was wrong and has to be picked up in Dallas this weekend, the kitchen countertop is on order and won't arrive till next week...heck, there is more, but that's all I can manage right now. Yucky update, I know, but I needed to vent. That hole I crawled in earlier wasn't deep enough.
