Crossing my fingers and toes

We have some good things happening.

• Peter, the water tank guy says he can start on our water tank this week. This is such excellent news. It's so hard to not have water. Please, weather.... stay dry enough for this.
• Andrew, the rock wall guy will start on a small retaining wall for where the hill slumped in the big rain. He'll probably start next week. This is a good thing.
• Louis, the bulldozer/ hauler guy is *hopefully* on the land right now with GB, discussing what needs to be done. We have some hauling for him to do and then we also need some bumps added to our roads to divert water.
• Valerie, the draftswoman has our house plans. Hopefully getting them drawn up is fairly painless.

These are good things. The whole thing might be a generally slow process, but if things are happening, then it doesn't seem too bad.

It's hard to go out there, and imagine ourselves living there- but then see all of the hurdles ahead of us. I feel like I'm so eager to have our house and pool and then get started on planting up the property. That sounds awesome to me.

Tomorrow we're supposed to get plants and do a family work day. I hope the weather holds.
