WOW! This weather is fantastic! So nice, I had to leave work early. What's the opposite of a snow day? The weekend was nice too, Tim and I took Conrad out to our land. He's been there before of course, but this was the first time he really got to look around (not bundled up under the papoose coat) We're looking forward to many sunny afternoons, picnics, camping, and bonfires out there this summer.
Tim and I hope to be meeting with John (our architect) tomorrow afternoon. The last meeting didn't take place due to a trip to New Orleans (John, not us!) so tomorrow we're expecting to learn more about his 350 sf house prototype that we MAY be guinea pigs for. No matter the direction we take for housing (our original floor plan ideas or this little home idea) we figure it will be spring of 2008 or later before we truly break ground. In the meantime, we may decide to do some work such as putting in the driveway, building another "storage shed", etc so that we can use the land more than we do now. We see a lot of "camping" out there in the future!
The property picture shows the northwest corner of our 17 acres. This is where we took out the two acres from the CRP contract for our future building site. If you look carefully, you may see the metal post near Tim that marks one corner of the 2 acres. Then up to the right (east as the land lays) the picnic area/campfire ring is included in the 2 acreas. It's so exciting to think of what we can do on just two acres....house, garage, HUGE garden, chickens, goats...
