Another trip to BV....

Jeff and I headed up to BV this weekend to meet up with Holly, Dan, Darren, Thayla and Brandon for some camping and hiking.  It was a great weekend.  We had dinner at the Eddyline Brewery (http://eddylinebrewery.com/) and showed the crew around South Main.  We are currently waiting for the building permit to be approved, so not much has happened since the last post, but here are a few photos from the trip:

We hiked near Cottonwood Pass.  Part of the hike involved us walking on a dirt road with a bit of vehicle traffice.  5 people, 7 dogs.

A picture of the hole in the lot with Jeff for scale.

These boulders will prevent drunk brewery customers from driving into our house.

I won't bore you with any more photos of the hole.  We will most likely be heading up in late September and we should see a lot more progress!

Welcome to Our Blog!

Jeff and I decided it would be a good idea to start a blog about the construction of our new house in Buena Vista, CO.  Our house is going to be in the South Main development in BV.  The founding principles of the South Main community are New Urbanism, Sustainability and Building Green.  For more information (and to see what's for sale!) visit:  http://www.southmainco.com/  The house should be done in May 2011.  We will be tracking the progress here.

Here is a write up about us and the house on the South Main blog: http://livefromsouthmain.com/2010/08/09/new-wave-of-construction-continues-on-river-park-road/

Some photos taken in the last few months:

Recent activity on the lot...

We now have our address posted on the lot - 1000 River Park Rd.

We are headed back up to BV this weekend to camp with friends.  I am sure Jeff and I will be taking a lot more photos!!!!
