PHASE ONE, Week One - Construction Daze

Phase One - Week of 6/2/08 - I'm dividing our log home construction into five phases, the first being that of our site and foundation work. The site has already been cleared for the most part, but needs some touching up. Next our foundation will need to be staked, our block for the foundation laid, our driveway graveled, our waterlines put in, and our underground temporary electric installed. This involves no less than three separate contractors, Charles, Terry & Gib, and their crews. Our foundation builder has been delayed on another job, but Terry laid approximately 1300 feet of water pipe was laid over the weekend. He also put in two additional hydrants to use for landscaping our entrance and the roadway. Norman helped by doing some digging and running out for parts. He also got a scare when he was trimming around the bluff and realized he was standing on the end of a straight drop!
