Our builder and his crew put in the mailbox and Ellen and I put on the address numbers. I was worried about the placement of the mailbox since it was further away from the driveway then I had originally wanted. For one reason it could be considered to be encroaching on our neighbor's land. Luckily on Friday morning the JV Burkes Survey crew were there when I happened to be there as well and I asked them about the mailbox. They said it was no big deal and it was considered to be on the Parish road right-of way and that survey crews don't worry about mailboxes.
Taking advantage of the week long dry spell, the final grading got started but couldn't be completed this weekend. That's not so good because Hurricane Ida has survived crossing Nicaragua and is now a definite threat to southeastern Louisiana. I don't expect the winds to be a problem; it is the rain that I am worried about! Oh my nerves are becoming very frayed.
When will we be able to move in? There is not much time between now and when Ellen and I are supposed to go to the UK for my father's 80th birthday.
I am thrilled to find your blog. We have chosen this plan as our dream home and hope to build it soon. It is so great to find photos and information other than that on the Southern Living site.
ReplyDeleteI also have been watching your progress. I am hoping to build this house next year. We live in the Mid West and I am wondering about this house with winter snows
ReplyDeleteWe KNOW that we want to build this plan now, based on what you have chosen to share here. We are still 3-4 years out, but I still would like to get some cost estimates along with suggestions based on your current experiences. Can't wait to see the finished product!
