Building Update- Entry # 2

5/22/13

From where we sit, in our cozy little office, we have a great view of our newly acquired property across the street. The view has not really changed since 1991, except that the trees have gotten a lot bigger! Other than a few trucks and earth moving equipment, our view remains the same. We are in veterinary medicine, which means we are self sufficient. Need lab work or X-Rays? We do that here, and have the results usually within 30 minutes. Need medication? We'll send it home today. Need surgery? We'll schedule that here. Not like human medicine, right? All this self sufficiency has ingrained in us that things happen "right now". Which leads to the question: At what point in the building process does our view start to change?

     Well...when we leave our cozy little office and walk across

the street, upon closer inspection:

THE VIEW HAS CERTAINLY CHANGED!


Even a few days has made a huge difference.

These pictures were taken on May 22, 2013. Here, most of the excess dirt has been removed, and the "large hole" that was there last week has been leveled. This will be where the foundation is laid.

So progress IS being made, in a hurry! This fits into our self sufficient world of "right now". Of course, we're not moving in anytime soon, but it gives us hope! It's really   exciting to watch the progress.

A phone is sometimes needed on the job site. This is a good sign for the future that we'll be able to have phone service as well!

After 2 weeks of what seems like nothing going on except dirt being pushed around, we have come to the end of the second week. Has it only been two weeks? Technically, I think it's been two and a half weeks-but that's just small details. The following pictures are where we are today. As you will see, we have forms being laid.

Now, that IS progress!
