Congratulations!! Great looking spot!

And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?

Hopefully we will get footings dug and poured next week and then let the fun begin. Wife also wants me to finish the dock so we can get family pics out there.

John Denver sang, "Almost heaven, West Virginia", but he was kinda sissy. Now Skynard rocks and sings something more appropriate for you. "Sweet home Alabama". Hell even Forest dances to it.
Ya have a picture perfect site! You're wife is cool cause she wants the dock done. I believe you will be the envy of many.

Pond looks great. We really enjoy having our pond near the house and within view. I'm sure you will too.

Not a whole lot to update. We had about 4 inches of rain over the weekend which pushed everything back. They will begin digging footers and pouring tomorrow. Hopefully start laying block by Thursday or Friday. Thanks for all the kind comments.

Looks like a great place to raise a family. Your family will cherish the memories. I only wish my kids had our pond when they were growing up. The did have a creek with fish in it, and a cabin 5 hours away, so they were not couch taters.

Yes my girls who are 8 and 5 love it. They were all about swimming in the pond until I pulled out some huge snapping turtles. They are excited to go fishing in it though.

I thought you poured a slab and built cinder block walls on top. Are you going to use the cinder block perimeter for forms to pour a floor?

10 yrs ago I built my lake house and I had never built a home before. It took a lot of time and money but I loved it. Good to see your plans and dreams are coming together.
