When things don't go as planned

It's been awhile. I haven't posted because i don't think we even knew what was going on. We had virtually no reply to our rfp so we regrouped, found some financing, family help, and new determination. We are currently reviewing a contract with a gc that they would do the excavating, septic, foundation, and plumbing. After that it's up to us. Fortunately, my burger will have some time this summer to help get us dried in and maybe rough framing...not sure how far we'll get. I do know that it will take a lot of time!
Hoping to break ground in 4-6 weeks. I'll be getting pictures when it starts.
So far we have applied for the merger of our land lots and have almost everything needed for our building permit: fire mitigation, 4h well test, civil engineer grading stuff, topo survey, and just waiting on the sign off from the fire marshal.
In the meantime there are a lot of trees to cut down, wood to stack, and slash to get rid of.
