Checked out houses

Went to look at houses built by Mike. Very impressed!

Met with Mike and Melody

First time we sat down with our architect and builder to discuss ideas. We both went and both came away feeling really good.

We provided them with a few plans we really liked and answered a whole bunch of questions.

Melody will start designing the floor plan while she's in Florida.

Found our Builder!

Mike came over to check out the site today. Jim came away with a very good impression.

Second Town Board Meeting

We went before the town planning board again with our survey. All was good. We filled out an application to the county for a tax id number.

We were given a sign to put out in front of the property to advertise the contestation meeting on Feb 19.

Received the survey

Looks great! Thanks Gary Dutton.

Our "Scrapbook"

I've never been proficient at scrapbooking, but I wanted a way of capturing the building of our new home. A blog is the perfect way for two "techies" to accomplish the artistry of capturing memories.

We moved from the Midwest to the East Coast in October 2008. We found our building site in November 2008, and broke ground in October 2009.

Henceforth, The Building of Blackthorn Ridge.
