Blood, Sweat and Dirt!

We are making progress! The foundation is coming along so well. The stem/block wall is finished and filled in. Plumbing under the slab is roughed in and ready. The footers for the garage have been dug and ready to get going. So we plan to pour the concrete slab first thing this week! And slowly but surely we will see the house take form! YaY!

Over the past two weekends, we have been out to the lot to do a little "cleaning up" in our woods. You would not believe the amount of vines that had overtaken the oak and pine trees. Not to mention all the palmettos and weeds that we had to get out of there. The blood, sweat and dirt sure is worth it! It is looking so beautiful! Here are a few pictures of our work... and they truly don't do it any justice.

After cleaning out all the vines... he could finally do some climbing!

Our first pile of brush... now we have about 5 of these piles!
