The wheels are in motion Babu

Gilles cannot stop saying: "The wheels are in motion. The wheels are in motion" repeating one of his favorite episodes from Seinfeld. He is so excited. I am not sure if he has slept much in the past few days.







 
Checklist:

• The road/ driveway is done. There will be a bit to do in finishing the top coat, but that can't be done until the foundation is done and there big trucks are done passing through. 

• The basement is has been blasted and dug. A few stray logs have fallen in, but nothing that can't be picked up

• Water Well: dug and spewing out water like the best most powerful geyser at Yosemite. A typical well, can supply 40-50  gallons per hour. Our well has a capacity of 150 gallons. That my dear friends is a lot of water. Our neighbour even said hat their water is so clear and pure they don't need a filtration system. Hopefully, we will be just as lucky. It will be a while before we know. 

• Foundation: Tomorrow, the foundation work will begin. Bob L'Amour is our foundation guy. He will be starting tomorrow. WOOHOOOO!!! This is just getting too exciting. I can't even contain myself. I have to get back to Sutton and take a few more pictures.

• Windows: Gilles and I went to look at windows and have decided on wood windows by Martin. Upstairs we will have "des fenêtres guillotines" Gosh, what a great expression! Downstairs, we will have  3 beautiful patio doors. I can really start to see things taking shape.
