It's some weird form of torture, I think, that they make you sign your purchase agreement so far in advance of when they will actually start work on the house. Seriously, I reserved my lot in October, signed the purchase agreement in November... now it's February and they're just getting started. Hudson and I arrived to see this:
It doesn't look like much, I realize, but I take comfort in the fact that they've at least gotten a leg up... one small drop in the bucket. And to Hudson's delight, a guy pulled up with a flat-bed semi trailer with a DIGGER on the back (that probably has a more technical name...? In our family, it's a digger. A Yellow Digger, specifically). He watched with rapt attention as the 'guy' climbed out of the semi, hopped up on the digger, backed it off the trailer, and parked it in the dirt/mud next to our lot. I think he truly understands what the heck mommy is talking about now, when I say, "oh yes, Hudson, they are going to dig a big hole in the dirt on our lot, and that's where our basement will be, and then they will build walls, then put on a roof, and it will be our HOUSE." He repeats it faithfully, but until now, I was a bit unsure of the comprehension. Actually seeing the digger poised and ready has made all the difference.
Also, I'm no foreman (not Foreman, but foreman, know what I mean? tee hee), but I assume those shallow trench-like things are to make it easier for the little digger to get in there and start hauling away the dirt, line by line. That's what I like to envision, anyway.
On a different note, I was perusing a blog I enjoy called the Nesting Place, and she had the perfect example of the Dining table ambiance I was looking for. Makes me feel like whatever I decide for lighting above the table will be a definite improvement. Look how cute the chandeliers are:
