We have the permit from the county, only after handing over a large check. Our favorite fee was the $50 we had to pay so we could continue living in our house while we built. As you can see from the photo excavation is done and ready for the footings to be formed. We've already been faced with decisions that we never really thought much about. Like how deep to dig the footing and how tall the foundation wall is going to be. Which apparently is pretty important around here. A family in our ward just moved into thier house in time for the spring runnoff. They've had to dig trenches to keep the water out of their house. Good thing our neighbor is an excavation guy or we might have ended up with the house looking like it was in a hole. We're getting most of our bids back and things are looking pretty positive. Most people we talk to tell us that our timing was perfect. We sold at the right time and are building at the right time. There are warehouses full of lumber and nobody is buying it. Hopefully the trend will continue for just a little while longer.

I am so excited for you. I hope things continue to just fall into place. Keep the pictures coming, we love to see the progress.
congratulations. sounds like things are going good. So how high did you decide to make the foundation.Or is it how low. I don't know about that. We are excited to watch the progress and will come see it as soon as we can.
