I will be keeping a running diary of the building process once I get down to Florida. This will give everyone a view into the house as it develops over time. Living so close to the land will allow me to be "On-Site" every day and to track its progress.

The builder feels that the construction of the house will go very quickly, possibly as quickly as 11 weeks. Having built a house before, there always seems to be things that "go bump in the night" and take longer than anticipated. I originally planned for a 4-6 month build and have signed a 6 month lease on my rental with an option to extend if I need to.

It will be interesting to see how long things take. Fingers crossed, I could be in by my birthday in October but definitely before the end of year.
