Waterworks Installing Pipe

Location of Sewer Tap planned out
First Scoop to install the water meter
On Wednesday the 18th, Mount Pleasant Water Works came out to put a water meter on our land. This is the first activity on our land other than walking on it.
Digging trench

Installing water line
Meter Installed!


SUCCESS!

Sketches in Color!

Our architect surprised us with some color sketches recently. This helps me see the picture ten times clearer!
On this side of the house we will have a modern coy fish pond
I love this house and cannot wait to see it finished. We have not broken ground yet but we are closer to that. The Structural Engineer still has the plans we hope he finishes soon!

Our yard will be beautiful and we are designing it ourselves so far. We will have many different kinds of palm trees along with lots of flowers. We will have a fenced in raised bed garden to grow crops and herbs in. In the middle of our garden we will have a fountain and chairs we can sit and enjoy the garden and weather.



On this side of the house will be the driveway
This is the front of the house from the street
This is the back of the house which will overlook our garden


On the left side of the garden we will have a   chicken coop. We will have 3 or 4 crazy looking chickens to get eggs from throughout the year. The will also be fenced in so the hawks and nasty big birds cannot swoop down and eat them. 

On the back right side of the house above the single garage door is a screened in porch with No-See-Um netting to enjoy the hot summer days without bugs swarming.

In the front from the driveway we will have a walkway. When you get on the side of the driveway in front of the house you will walk over a water feature with stepping stones to get to the front door. This will be very clear and clean water with lights to illuminate the pond in the dark.


















There is so much to think about I am sure I have forgotten something and I will add it when I remember. Every day we get closer and closer to breaking ground I get more and more anxious!
