Not so much to tell

We visited our property last Monday. The excavation is complete, but we are waiting on a geo-tech survey to make sure the foundation will be stable. The big problem is rain...and rain...and did I mention that it has rained a lot?

As soon as the geo-tech survey is complete, forming the foundation will begin. The hope is to have the foundation poured by the end of next week. That would put us on track to start framing about the time we move to Dallas.

Speaking of moving, we have packed about as much stuff as we can pack and still be able to live! We wander around the house looking for things to do. There is little packing left, until our P.O.D.S. come and we can start loading stuff out of the house and into the storage units. There is nothing to read, because all the books are packed. We have decided that it is better to have a real estate deal close in one month from acceptance of the offer, instead of two. We are feeling in limbo and ready to get on with the adventure.

On the up side, we have found a nice RV park in Independence, about a 1/2 mile from Pat and Katie. The managers of the park are a nice, Christian couple who have made sure that we have a primo space in which to park our Sadie for our summer stay. We have access to our mailbox at the property, so we have a forwarding address. We have an offer of help from some young men who are willing to load the heavy furniture into the P.O.D.S.

That process will begin on June 10th, and we will be moved out by the 16th. We'll park Sadie in the driveway after the P.O.D.S. are gone and spend the day of the 16th cleaning the house and yard. The morning of the 17th we will head for Independence, and "PeeWee's Big Adventure" will be in full swing.

So, that is the latest. More reports and pictures will follow, as the building project progresses.
