Moving on up!

That's us up there!

The second floor deck is on now and I got my first look at it last night. It was such a cool feeling to stand up there and look out at what our view will be. We can see a little sliver of the lake to the West, and I'm sure that during the winter months we'll be able to see a lot more. For now this seems like another big step in the building process. Helen and Paul watched Miranda and Jess and I hung out at the house site just taking it all in. It is really starting to feel like a home to us now. We were thinking back to a year ago when we had just finished our ground water monitoring of the soil on the property. We weren't sure if we'd be able to put in a septic system, and if we couldn't do that we couldn't build a house. So we've come a long way, and to stand up on the second floor and look out towards the lake, well I just don't think I have words for it.

Levi seemed a little disappointed that he couldn't come up with us. He did a funny thing though, he went out into the yard and sat down where he could see us. I thought that was pretty cool. He's going to be one lucky doggie to get to live at 199 Coyote Run.
