Building Phase 1 - It has begun....

So this last week we finally started to work on our lot's. We all got to meet as a group with our building contractor Jamon. He instructed us on what is going to happen and all the things to keep in mind as our building project gets underway.

This picture I took awhile ago of our lot right after we signed up for the project and found what lot was ours.



 After being instructed we split into two teams and some of us started painting our signs for our lots and the other team started building our electrical panel's so that when Rocky Mt Power came we could have everything ready to get power to our lots so that we can start building. I was in the group to paint our signs. We need signs for our lots so that when the contractors come they know what lot to go to as we start to build. It was also really fun to get to know the other participants in our group a little better.

 This is Kate's sister Jenna.... She and I graduated together and we are also in the group together how fun.

 The house behind us in the picture is going to be my next door neighbor. So we are standing right in front of my lot.

 Here is my sign...SO yes we are lot # 73

 When we got finished with the signs we started to put together some boards that our electrical panels  hang on so that we can have some power to our site. You can also see Justin in his group building the electrical panels. By the end he was actually getting pretty good at putting them together.

 Here is another picture of Justin putting them together.

When we got done with the project for the evening we all met as a group and talked about when they would start to dig. We learned that they would start this weekend digging the holes. We then learned that it has been decided that they would dig three holes at a time preventing any water or snow to get into the holes before they can get to the framing and cementing. So our house will actually be in the second group of homes to be dug due to our lot being one of the last ones on the street but it doesn't matter we are actually just excited to have it all starting. We cant wait to get fully involved in the building of our own home. It has begun....
