So I've been in Minneapolis since Wednesday, and more has gotten done since I've been here than has been done since things started. That may be a slight exaggeration, but here's a brief synopsis of the week.
Tommy Lequire of Lequire Excavating came out and cleared the site of all the trees on Monday and Tuesday. It was amazing to see how everything changed once all the undergrowth was gone. Once I saw how different it looked, I realized that the initial position I had envisioned for the house was not what I would want at all. Now I'm going to turn the house so it faces the final approach up the drive, that way I can have a garage under the master bedroom and a nice parking area at the top of the drive as well.
So I left Wednesday morning to come to MN, and as soon as I got here I got a call from Jeremiah telling me that Tommy was ready to put the septic tank in. Wow! Talk about getting things done. So Tommy has gotten most of the work on drain fields and septic tank done so far, and, to my knowledge has not had any problem with rocks, one of his biggest concerns on the side of that hill.
The movers have come and brought the steel to put under the house, but I have yet to see it so I don't have too much to say, except that I can't wait to get back to town tomorrow and see everything that's been done.
I'll soon have some more to blog about the house move and my trip, but for now I am off to the last formal function of my trip up here. One of the coolest things about my trip so far would have to be my conversations with a colleague from Washington (the state) whose dad moves houses. Talking with her was wonderfully encouraging as I sit here not able to see what is happening with my house.
til next time.
