I'll admit, there hasn't been much excitement on the construction site thus far. The land has pretty much been an empty field since we purchased.. However, more recently, the builders have started to dig up the site, and tractors are moving around over there every day. In the last few weeks, they've dug out /flattened our future street! And it looks like they're working on water lines/ sewage, etc. (the not so pretty, but otherwise important stuff)!
*Edit: We took a walk down our future street today, and we were actually able to find a stick with our lot number on it! I am so excited we got to see exactly where the house will be! None of the surrounding streets have been built yet, so before today we had no idea how far we'd be located from the main road. After seeing it in person, I'm not impressed by how close we are to an intersection but I'm hoping the street won't be terribly busy and it will be ok! There were homes left to chose on some quieter streets when we chose our lot, but there was a very expensive premium to select those lots, and we decided we'd rather spend that money on a the house model we wanted vs. a better location (hopefully we don't regret that decision when we move in)!!
Below are a few snaps of the construction site. Not too exciting yet, but it will be fun to look back on once our house is built, and we can compare our new home to the mud pile that was once in its place.
