We closed on September 8th 2003 and then we got a burning permit two days
later.
We had trees in the lot cut in a 100 X 75 foot rectangle to
accommodate the house. Then we started burning. Burning
all that wood was a LOT of work (note the woodpile in
the background which is partially obscured by the tree with the "marry me" sign
on it.) ! We burned wood for at least 3 weeks and Donna did most of the work
!
The work promptly began in late October with the digging of the
foundation. Then the foundation was done around November 15th.
