Week 6, Day 40 - Defining Spaces

Today it felt like the spaces became more defined. Basically the back wall of the house was put up, but the change seemed even more dramatic to me standing there...

When I pulled around to the driveway, I found I could not get up because the gas company was hooking up the gas. Naturally, that meant digging up the driveway. :-) I mentioned to one of the workers that at least they didn't have to dig up the nice pretty new road. He shook his head and said "Definitely not! We heard about that one from all sides! No digging up the road!" :-P I am glad that they found a way to hook up the gas without mucking up the road. You just *know* that this road will not get re-done for another 20 years or so, so it's best to not start out with a big patch!





The house is starting to take shape!


View from the front door...




Lots of windows!

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.
