November 2005. Tuesday before Thanksgiving the final staking took place. The following Monday, November 28th was the planned day to start digging the foundation. It was a dismal day, unseasonably cold...then turned rainy...but a very exciting day for us! The two pictures show 1) the cul de sac looking straight onto our lot where the front of the house will be (west/north) and 2) the hillside, with four primary stakes from the garage side of the house towards the (north/west).
