Breaking Ground - Shell up in Record Time

I took a trip up in April this year (2007) with my Dad and my Brother. Hired a local guy to clear the building spot and build a driveway into it. Made anouther two trips up in July and August and met up with a local builder that a friend had recommended. Signed the papers and by the 2nd week of August they were breaking ground to put in the septic . I'd asked Bob the builder when he thought that the house might be finished and he said his best guess was January. I was fine with that and completely excited as I knew that we were only going to get a shell erected and I'm planning on this being an extended project. Now the funny part. My Dad and Brother took anouther trip up in October to close up the cabins for the year and hoping to see the basement of the house finished and covered. As soon as they got there they were stunned to see that the house was nearly completed already. They phoned me immediately and I could feel thier excitement through the phone lines. i made plans as fast as I could and got up there and the few pictures on the page show what i saw when I got there. I'm planning to take anouther trip up Nov 7 and my husband will get to see the house . I'm expecting a lot of smiles! and, Whatta Dream! :)
