One Nice-Looking Hole

When Joe arrived to check out the progress the other day, he called and said there was "one nice looking hole" on our lot. By the time I got there Joe was gone and James, one of the excavating contractors, was there. I started taking pictures and he laughed. He said that he had never seen two people so excited about a hole before. James and his dad, Jim, did the excavating on our last house. Our last house did not have a basement, therefore there was no hole needed. So, yes, we are excited about this hole. Joe and I may be excited for two different reasons. Joe is excited that the hole is similar to size and placement of our future basement, which means less work to be done (less work = less money). I am excited because with the old house cleared, I can see all the sunshine on our lot. I need sun! The amount of natural light on a lot is always part of the deal when we are looking at property. This Florida girl needs as much vitamin D she can get.

This nice looking hole will soon be our home. It makes me smile!
