I'm pleased to report our move is a bit more real today. We closed on the land. First payment due 4/15. Construction of the utilities (water, storm sewer, overhead electric, AT&T fiber optic) and paving is ongoing. They're also working on construction of the suspension bridge over the creek. This picture is looking east, downhill towards the creek. Our lot is near the top of the unpaved hill on the other side. We're on the left in the curve. We are probably a bit out of view......
That's a roughly 60' change in elevation from the top of the hill to the flowline of the creek. That's way more topographic relief than we have where we live (almost none). It will be nice not worrying about flooding.
We estimate it will be August or later before the bridge is in. I'm hoping to do the underbrushing and survey work in the fall. Maybe even have the Geotechnical analysis done as well. Until then, we're just making payments and saving for the build.
