A road to our Florence

Been a while, but there hasn't been much to write about until now. We have a paved road throughout the community. Last week the workers were out there compacting crushed stone, we knew paving would follow. On Thursday my wife and I took a ride by to see what was going on. When we arrived we could see some blacktop, and knew they had started. Of course we had to go back the next day to see the progress, hoping it would be finished. Friday morning we get there and see the paving wasn't quite finished. It looked like they had to redo the grading in an area that had been done. One more ride by yesterday and the road is all finished. This opens the rest of the neighborhood for construction. Now we wait in line for our pre-con meeting, and then some construction. Can't wait!

On another note. My wife and I were at the lot a couple of weeks ago and noticed that a new hole had been dug. This was right at the entrance to the rest of the neighborhood. We walked by and on towards our lot, but noticed a guy checking it out. The wife and I didn't really think anything of it, but on the way back to the car we asked him if he was building a home here. Well wouldn't you know it, that new hole was for his house. We met our first neighbor! We stood and chatted for close to an hour, great guy.

One more thing. Just a shameless plug for my wife's photography shop on Etsy. The link is under my google badge. If you're looking for some art for your home, check it out.

  2. We are in the same position as you.. or close to it. We are anticipating the beginning of paving the neighborhood within the next week or 2. It has been such a wait, but it is now exciting seeing a new entrance coming about that it goes to show that paving is in the plans! So cool that you are starting to meet your neighbors and it's just the beginning. Congrats!

    1. Thanks Michelle. The wait is definitely hard, but being able to see our future home and neighborhood come together is really cool.
