You know that new house on the hill? We built it.

First there was the land...

In February 2009, we purchased 9.5 acres out in the country. The land was covered with pines, a few hardwoods, and a good bit of brush. In one area, we could tell that a previous owner had made a go-kart track around a stand of pines. A metal pole building stood near the front of the property, which was an added bonus. When we bought the land, we intended to build on it within a few months.

Here are a few pictures of the land when we bought it.

The lower portion, near the highway. From this location, the house will be to the left and back. We'll do our best to preserve this tree so our driveway can pass by it.
The highway is to the left; our house will sit to the right.
Pine trees where the go-kart track was.
The metal building, which will eventually serve as a workshop, etc.
