Version 2.0 is Underway ... Sort of

Over four months after losing our home in the tornado, the task to build Version 2.0 is finally underway!

The good news: We have a contract with a builder, paperwork is at the bank, and a permit should be in place in a matter of days, if not sooner. Preliminary site preparations, to include residual demolition along the wing walls and some foundation repair is anticipated this week.

The bad news: After almost 6 weeks of hot, dry weather, mother nature picks THIS week to replenish the thirsty soil. So just as we're getting started, the weather throws a rainy wrench into this. Ironic, in a way.

Nevertheless, we are undeterred in our excitement to finally be moving forward on V2.0. There are lots of decisions still to be made, and we're waiting on several subcontractors to provide us needed feedback, but it does feel good to be looking at what's ahead and less so at what's behind.

The rain continues to fall. And that's okay.

At least we've got a sign:
