The Plans and The Pad



We chose Adair's 2432 Plan
We're basically getting the Traditions package but we're upgrading to the front gable shown on the Signature exterior. Plans were submitted to the county mid-November.




Frank's handywork. Culvert put in, pad leveled, 75 foot driveway with turn around. And he installed the 2,000 gallon holding tank. Now we are in the hurry up and wait stage as the county handles the building permit.

The Well

 Gribble Well Drilling dug our well. 3 days, 300 feet. It should not take that long, but we were in solid rock most of the time. It was kind of like watching grass grow (only more stressful).

We (Jon and some helpers) installed the well pump to save some money.
 We have about 4 gallons per minute so we'll get a holding tank. There were some issues with testing a new well. Talk to the bank before going too crazy. They were great to work with in that regard.


Our Land, 1.15 Acres

1.15 acres on a dead end road, outside city limits.
Just what we wanted :)
Though the process of purchasing the land was long and stressful, (we began in July/August and closed in November) our real estate agent Evan McArthur was great and I'd definitely recommend him.
And it came with a *FREE* apple tree. Sweet deal :)
