We sat down with the construction manager last Tuesday to go through our house plans…one last time. I sat there, trying not to fidget as he walked us through door sizes, window openings, and bulkheads. I honestly thought there couldn’t possibly be anything else that we would need to add or change after going through the plans on our own, but of course, I was wrong. Over the next couple of hours, we added more outlets and switches, including a switch to the plug on our front porch for easy Christmas light displays (sweet, huh?), and even took out a couple random things.
But then, we signed off on the last page of plans, signed a few more documents, took our set of construction keys, and walked out into the sunshine with the promise of our hole being dug the following Monday.
I couldn’t stop smiling.
We stopped by the lot a couple times that week, just to check in.
Thursday…it was still just a rectangle of dirt.
We went back on Friday, and it had been staked out…
Monday…here we come!
