The Field

The field is a 13 acre hayfield. It retains moisture horribly in the winter and spring, so we chose the highest spot in the field. (far right of picture 1)
I realize these pics are pretty non-descript, so i will attempt to help.

Picture 1 demonstrates the main driveway off FM 561. You can kinda see the "crop circle" on the far right which is the actual build site. The main driveway will take you to the farmhouse, where we are living during the build process. This picture is facing South, North is to your back.



Picture 2: The then grass driveway leading up to the build site (center). The cluster of trees (top-center) hides a pond. The driveway continues beyond the homesite to the left, leading to the pond. This picture faces West.


Preface to picture 3: We eventually figured out that we should take pictures of the various stages of the build from the same spot. So later we could have are really good idea of the house "coming up". We hadn't had that epiphony at this stage, but this location is probably the closest to the later-chosen "spot".

Picture 3: This picture faces south-southwest. The road to the right is the road mentioned in pic 2 leading to the pond. The driveway is out of frame to the left.

More to come. Next time: The Soil Sample.
