Today, we packed a picnic lunch and drove out to the property as official owners. I have a feeling this will become a Saturday ritual for the next year or so, or at least until there is a working kitchen on site, which, from the looks of things, will be a minute.

We also brought along the house plans and flags so we could stake off the outline of the house in its approximate position. We learned a few things during this exercise:

1. These orange flags don’t show up very well.
2. It’s really difficult to place the flags in a straight line and square without the proper equipment.
3. I am bossy.
4. 9 acres is a lot of acres.
5. We will need a tractor.

Here is Josh, placing flags with abandon:
