Well I was really a few minutes late for this one, but it was a lovely evening yesterday. The lake is only .6 miles away from our house for sale at 1218 Laurel Lake Drive. I see people fishing there all the time and the occasional kayaker.

New website, new post, we are going full speed ahead! Hopefully I will be able to keep this updated with out various projects and activities. The transition referenced above is between two houses. I’m trying to finish one and start the other. The crazy time is a nod to the virus, which has delayed the completion of the first house by several months. It has also added greatly to the materials cost of the second house. But we will overcome!

The first house, at 1218 Laurel Lake Drive in Monteagle is roughly 97% complete. All that remains is a septic tank installation, plumbing and electrical fixtures installed, a little landscaping and driveway work, and a couple of days of interior touch up. We are close! I absolutely love the way this house has turned out and can’t wait for somebody to make it their home. Purchasing details will come soon. Below are some pictures showing where we are currently at.

The second house, exact address to be determined, is about 300 yards down the street. Right now I am in the process of clearing a patch of land to dig footings and working with the surveyor and the city to split off an acre and a half of land from a larger tract. Once that happens we will be full speed ahead. The plans are complete and I have made all of my materials lists. Provided that we can start construction around the first of September, I hope to finish by the end of the year. That will be a challenge, but doable.

I’ll try to post pictures and updates as regularly as possible here. Feel free to comment or ask questions.
