Moving Dirt, Construction Under Way!

Well, there is finally progress out on the lot! Saturday, the dirt movers came out and began work on house footprint and driveway. They should be back today to bring more dirt for the driveway. It was rather wet out there Saturday, so they only brought two loads. The good news is, we won't be needing much dirt other than for the driveway since it is a decently level lot.

My contractor and his guys (Garrison Construction - Blue Mountain, MS) were out on the lot bright and early this morning preparing the forms for the concrete footers. Weather wise, it looks like a fairly nice week, so maybe they can get a good start on prep work for foundation.
We spent yesterday afternoon visiting several open houses in Tupelo. They were all new construction homes, and we basically went just to get some ideas for our home. One of the decisions we have been discussing this weekend is whether we should go Granite or Corian for the counter tops in the kitchen. We have heard pros and cons on both.

I will update more as the week progresses.
