| One corner of our dream home |
I hit the road about 7:30am heading for our property with a few stops along the way. My first stop was to shake the hand of Zeb, my soon to be electrician and plumber. Zeb was most helpful in working through a few 'electrical' concerns...glad I stopped. I asked him if he could recommend a heating and air guy and sure enough, not far down the road, I met Billy with Blue Ridge Air. Talk about feeling at home. He made several good suggestions and both he and Zeb will have bids for me by Wednesday...Shazaaaam!
Finally made it to our property. Nice and clear and crisp. The norm for 4200' elevation. I met with Jack, a grading contractor at 9:30. He would do a great job and will get back with me this week with the 'numbers' as they say.
My next appointment was at 11:00 with Tim the carpenter and Maurice another grading contractor. Now let me tell you about Maurice. He knows his dirt. He made some excellent suggestions that will save a good amount of money. He's also a septic system guy and will provide quotes for both this week. I really think Tim and Maurice will join the team (pending 'the numbers').
We spent the next 3 hours, Katy and I, setting stakes and running surveyor's tape where the house pad will go in preparation for Environmental Services to make a visit and sign off on our plan. That's going to happen in the next 2 weeks.
All in all, it was a great day (pending 'the numbers').
More soon,
Z
