It's so cold that our permit is frozen

We still don't have approval on our permit yet. Our contractor said if we had been up in the air during the cold weather we are having our pipes would have frozen. Here are some pictures of the three holes in the back yard with ice crystals in them.

The Beginning

This blog was created to show our family and friends the changes that are happening at our house as we elevate it. We hope to soon live in 'An Taigh Ard' (The High House).
The status today is we have three holes in our back yard 4 to 5 feet deep to run tests to put in a new septic system.
We are asking to put a garage under the house when it is raised. We may get two one car garages rather than a two car garage because of the location of the chimney.
We also had the outside of our house painted. We need to paint the trim.
