House Project - Number 2

A few weeks ago we finally had our new septic tank and field lines put in. This is a weird thing to blog about but I want to document it anyways. We didn't take any pictures of them laying the field lines but here are a few of the new tank. 

Next on the list is to get our plans drawn up by an architect.

House Addition Projects

This is our To-Do list for our house addition. I know I've left off a lot of things that need to be done but I'll have to have Chase help me out with that part. He knows more about building houses than I do.

1. Have silver maple cut down in the backyard
2. Have new septic tank and field lines put in
3. Have architect draw up plans for the addition
4. Put in footings and the block work for the addition
5. Have addition framed and blacked in
6. Have new roof put on the house
7. Build a new front porch
8. Hang drywall in the new living room
9. Hang drywall in the new mater bedroom
10. Hang drywall in the new master bathroom and closet
11. Install a wood burning fireplace in the new living room
12. Paint the walls
13. Install carpet in the new living room and master bedroom

Bye Bye Pretty Tree

 Tuesday we had a really big Silver Maple cut down in our backyard to make room for our new septic system and house addition. We were really sad to see it go but I'm so happy that we now have a bigger backyard. This was the first step towards having a bigger house.

We actually have a backyard now that will one day be fenced in with grass and a swing set for Brantley to play on. Yay!
