WOW we've been busy (surprise surprise)! We're have been working overtime in order to get permit drawings ready for submittal. We set a deadline for ourselves to get the drawings submitted before our holiday break, so that when we come back next year we'll be ready to break ground (hopefully). We've already 'broken' ground....the tree guys came out yesterday. I've never been so excited to wake up early and go to the site. I've never seen a tree get cut down (I know Morgan, I'm such a city girl). But it was really interesting how they did it. They didn't climb up to the top and cut it down in pieces...they literally 'Paul Bunyan'ed it but with a truck instead of a blue ox. We talked them into cutting down a couple of extra trees, but we have to go cut them up. They had this cool old beat up truck with a claw on it to pick up the pieces. That was my favorite part...I wanted that job (I've always loved the claw game)! And you better believe when the workers went to lunch we played on the truck. But on a serious note, we did save a lot of trees on the site, so it still has that woodsy feeling.
