Day 1....Sunset

-




 Andy spent the day out at Peppermint Pines today beginning to clear the land for the house.  The land is completely covered in this years left over corn stalks, post harvest. The excavator was delivered later in the afternoon so he managed to get most of the area done where our house will go.  




Check out that sunset! I can’t wait til this is our nightly view out the back door 💙

  The first project I’ve made thus far using the found glass from the farm land is a house number sign! I think it will be a fun keepsake and reminder of the beginning of our time on the farm ❤️

Culvert....

To date this has been one of the easiest experiences in this whole process! Last week we were out at the property and a SC DOT Truck had stopped on the road to work on a sign. The builder had told us that in NC the DOT puts the culvert drain pipe in when one is needed. I asked the SC DOT workers if that was an option here and they said absolutely! They gave me the number to their shop to call and request the pipe.  I called on the way home and spoke to a man who took my info and said they’d be out to check it out soon. Monday morning I received a call that he was at the property and wanted to confirm some things with me. Today - Thursday - a week after my initial call, they were out there with their machines, trucks, and multiple men and they had it all installed!  A welcome sight when I came around the curve today! There she is, the beginning of our driveway ❤️ From the road looking in. Once building is done they will pave over this to meet up with our driveway.  The pip...

Plats and earth moving...

This afternoon we went to the surveyor’s office and signed our names on the new the plat - there’s more to this story, and I will share when I am able 😉  Andy then took off immediately for the land as the mini excavator was calling his name, loudly!  A few hours later the girls and I headed out to see all he had accomplished.  The land is 38 miles from where we are living currently and takes about 45-50 minutes to get there.   Andy had pushed quite a bit of the top layer of the field (corn and weeds) into large piles and started burning it.  From one side looking toward the woods. The woods are ours too.  (Andy’s friend’s truck for those who may wonder how our GMC changed to a Chevy 😉) From the rear corner looking toward the road. Our house will be in front of where the fire is.  The neighbor’s dog came to visit today! She’s super sweet and enjoyed following the girls all over the field and playing fetch. Hopefully she and Cooper will get along well ...
