Getting our ducks in a row...

The process to reach the building phase is quite an interesting and arduous one. With all the bids in hand and construction financing in place, there are still many things to do. Thank goodness our builder, Adair Homes, is a true pro at this. They've been in business for over 40 years and really help each step of the way. February was spent coordinating paperwork with our excavator, DEQ (septic), Lewis & Clark Fire, water quality board, etc. Once that was done, our team at Adair provided us with all the necessary permit applications and packet.

Clatsop County Oregon is awesome! The building department has been terrific at explaining everything and signing off all of our documents. They are tremendously helpful and very quick to respond.

Our excavator, Robert Martens Excavation, is amazing! Robert & Nate have provided solid advise and done a terrific job getting the land ready to build. Here we are with the footprint of the house excavated and clearing started on the rest of the 5 acres. The trench and conduit for the electric and cable completed along the drive, too.
