Ready to go!

On September 11, we closed on the land. It's ours :) We're very happy with the location - just 3 miles north of Bondurant. That puts us 7 miles from Altoona and 7 miles from Ankeny. Matt is very happy that he'll have a little "play room" to ride around on his 4-wheelers and we'll have room on the land to bulid a garage down the road. The development is nice- all the lots are at least an acre so we're not on top of our neighbors and there is currently 18 lots sold or for sale so we'll have plenty of neighbors eventually. The area directly behind our lot will probably become a park some day according to the developer.



Week of 9/18: We applied for the building permits and everything passed. We're ready to start! Now we'll just wait for our plumber, etc to become available to dig the basement. Matt is anticipating breaking ground the weekend of October 6/7.
