Ground Broken!

We took off at the end of last week to be at the property for the ground breaking, but traffic, rain, and road construction slowed us down enough the we missed the actual first breaking of the ground. This ended up not being a problem at all as we were glad to see the progress, finally!!!!!

This is what we walked up the lane to find on Thursday, the footers are poured!


Check out the size of the Live Oaks compared to the Port-O-Let

On Friday we returned to the property to see them completing the foundation, Awesome!




Perfect placement by Mother Nature on this palm


It was time to celebrate a little afterward with our good friend FC, after all he is partly responsible for this happening. We fell in love with this part of the world the first time we came down to visit!

One final visit out to Cedar Key for dinner and a sunset before we start heading north











Now the project is underway and I'll (and sometimes we'll) be making trips back down to check on the progress!

That's great news (but I'm not too sure about that bar scene; looks like it attracts some scary people).

That's right Pablo and don't you forget it.

Dang! How'd I miss this post?

Good news is, it's been sunny here for about 3 days in a row, so hopefully something is happening at the job site.

FC - Waiting on logs now and then the whole thing will start really taking shape!
