Front Door

I know we are a million years away from building, but I couldn't help but start picking out some of the "details". I feel kinda crazy, but I'm LOVIN it!! :)
Our front door will look more like the left picture but the glass will go all the way down like the right picture. L.O.V.E !!!

I think it will be stained a lil' darker too, but you get the idea.

Our House Plan....(rough draft ;))


The house will be a "mirror image" of this picture.




We found this plan on the internet and fell in love. We've "revised" it a tad already and I'm sure there will be much more we have to change from now and the time we start to build.

Let it SNOW!!

















These pictures were taken January 10, 2011. Sheridans 1st BIG snow of the year.


I'm not sure if you can tell by these pictures, but our land, at this time, is about 75% cleared!!

Papaw's Tractor.....YAAAAAAY!!!

We borrowed a tractor from my Papaw Bill December 8 and was able to keep it for a week. We got SOOOO MUCH work done in that week. What we got done in that week with the tractor was about how much work we would have got done in a month, doing it by hand.
Wednsday, The Meltons helped for a few hours....Thank you Brian & Shawna!! :)
Thursday, Tony Sinyard helped us. We were able to cut down 12 'big' pines. Chuck used the tractor to push on the trees, while Tony used the chain saw to cut them down. That was awesome.



Our land is changing so much. Its so exciting!





Clearing land by hand....AKA VERY HARD WORK

These 3 pictures were taken right after Larry Raper cut most of the pines.

This is a picture showing about where our house will sit.












This is the side view and side/front corner.












These picture shows what Chuck and I have done from October 8th till December 8th, right before we borrowed the tractor.
