Two days home and we had begun marking our the spot for our new home. We went for our building permit with 3 hours of sleep before us and headed out to the farm. It is finally "our" farm. We have spent the last 16 years calling Mr. Funks house. Evven though Mr. Funk passed away 5 years ago and we have owned it since. It has still always been his. Now we finaly think of it as ours.
Yesterday the basement was dug and by 1pm, Dean and I were getting the forming down to pour concrete before the weekend. With in hours the water started seeping in and the clay was slippery and mucky. It took me about 10 minutes and the boots where off and it felt way better to be bare footed and my feet where now not so heavy.
We got the perimiter all finished and today we will finish the rest so the concrete will have time to cure before the walls get started next week.

It must be an odd feeling to be home after all your wonderful adventures. Guess you are too busy to think on it too much. Best wishes for the new home. Have enjoyed your blog. You are all still my favourite couchsurfers.
