The Beginning.

We're building a house!  By we, I mean PCW design/build and me.  My hope is to keep friends & family up-to-date on all the happenings through this blog and also to capture the process through print when it's complete. 

So, here we go!  Where better to start than the beginning...which is what this photo shows.  This is the kids' first visit to the lot where the house building will soon get underway.  I wanted to show a few photos of the land before any work was started.  It's a gorgeous, wooded piece of property lined with mature evergreens...very quiet, private and magical.  We love it!  We're still in the process of getting permits, etc., but anticipate being able to clear the lot next week.  Then comes staking the house, drive and septic, etc.  After that: the excavation, but that can't be done before we've gotten the permits.  So, hopefully we'll have a hole in the next week or so!
