Selection week

When we first chose to build with Hall we met with them & they laid out a basic timeline for us.  The starting point for the construction beginning would depend on much much the ground was frozen & when it would begin to thaw.  We knew we would need to come back & choose all of the finishings for the house over a weekend since making the choices from Fairbanks isn't an option.  When we got down to Wasilla for the selection week we decided to do a quick drive-by of the property.  We thought maybe they would've moved a tree or two, but we drove up and lo & behold...

The view that awaited us on Wednesday

We couldn't believe that the foundation was in!  They two guys there were compacting the dirt in preparation for the concrete pour.

We went back on Friday with my Mom & Dad and were surprised to see even more progress!
