April is flying by and we still haven’t broken ground.  The wheels of government turn slowly, and all we can do is try to be prepared for the next step.  After we get Lillie’s Pad approved, we will be ready to begin grading.  We have three bids for the pool construction, and as soon as we make sure everything is apples to apples on the bids, we’ll be ready to choose a contractor.  At that point, the city will meet with the pool contractor and Bill Brown, the builder, on site to make sure everything is in place. After that we will receive our Land Disturbance Permit for the existing home. Then we can begin cutting into the dirt in a big way to make way for the west wall.  In the meantime, we are doing our best to make sure that there are not stumbling blocks or speed bumps to hold up progress once we begin.  

The transplant effort went well, and we worked on some more of the same over the weekend.  Most of what we have here we are trying to keep on site, but much of it has to be relocated to avoid being ruined with the dirt work.  It is a bit tedious to dig up plants and move them knowing that we will only move them again in a few months, but at least we will have some nice sized plants to install once the dust has settled.  

We’ll keep you posted of any progress!
