After asking me if I would like to “guest post” on the house blog, Dave then had second thoughts, asking me “Wait, are you funny enough?”

We went to Blue Ridge Saturday to check on the house. Reports were that the foundation was done and basement walls were up. We were interested to see the progress because Blue Ridge had received 5 inches of rain over two days the week before. 

The progress did not disappoint! Here are a few pictures of the house so far.

 

The basement ceiling is about 10 feet, and will be able to have windows on three sides! This is going to be an extremely well lit basement! No dungeons here!

Now because this is a guest post and you get my perspective today, I will share the most exciting part of the visit for me! 

 

 

We had visitors!! I’m pretty sure these are only dog prints (not Rocky because they’re hardened in the concrete) but I’d like to think they are from a wild coyote and her baby cubs or a mountain lion! (Dave: I think they’re actually from a kitten.)

My parents are coming to visit next weekend and we are super excited to show them the progress on the house. The plan is to head into Blue Ridge and get some ice cream as well. Hopefully the mountain view, sound of the Ellijay River from the house and the quaint mountain town will make them want to move here!…

Happy house building!
