Test Holes.

Definitely a looooooong story, but

yes, we did purchase a new lot in

Somersett. A big, beautiful, FLAT lot!!

We are ready to get building that house!

When we started to begin our project on

the other lot, there was clay soil and

a big basement, decks, etc. that were

very difficult for the soil to support.

It required lots of other soil to be brought

in and was very expensive.

However, God is good and we found

a really pretty new lot with beautiful

views of mountains all around. Before

we got to excited about the lot, we

had test holes dug as well as geo-techs

on site to see just how the soil looked.

Yep, yep, yep, the soil is

native soil . . . awesome soil.

I have heard much more about

soil the last week than I EVER

wanted to hear. However, this

lot is a "cut lot" . . . one that was

cut from a large hill or mountain

replete with native soil . . . Soil great

for building a home on.

Hence, we are headed back to the

architect on Monday and revising

our old plans that were approved and

ready to roll. This is a just a little

setback that will really work out

much better for the future.

Test holes, gotta love 'em.
