Our New House......And Thanks

[buckeye]

I have been wanting to thank the members of the forum for quite some time. Over the past year, I have asked various questions about building a home and making land preparations for such. Over varied subjects such as driveway preparation, spetic systems, types of foundations, growing a lawn, etc., the members of this great communiuty have always provided me with excellent points of view. Many ideas from here I have incorporated, some I have not. Regardless, I wanted to pose a picture or two to show you the results we have had, and to formally thank the many of you that helped me and my family in our big project.

The first photo is of the front of the house. We have 11.5 acres or so of land, and put the house around 900' back from the county road we live off of. We like the long driveway and love the front yard. When we get grass, we'll like it even more!

The second photo is of the back of the house and of the lawn mower I use to keep the grass under control. Right now we park it in the garage, but I have a notion to put up a pole barn in the not too distant future.

Once again, thanks to all the members who responded to me in the past. I hope I can help respond to anyone else in the future who may have similar questions.

Congratulations Jim, real beautiful house and spread you've got there.

It looks like you've got a perfect spot for a pond there in front of the house. Any plans for one in the future?

Jim,

Your place looks great and you are very lucky to be able to put your house that far back. Ours sites about 250FT from the road, bu the drive goes 250 back and turns and goes 125 more. We only have 800FT or so before our property drops off for the balance of another 800FT.

Your place looks great. Putting my tractor on hold, but still wanting blue in the barn.
