Wife and I have been planning this thing for a while. Took us a while just to get where we are today but things are moving along nicely now.
The details:
Navarro County
5.733 acres
Between Corsicana and Blooming Grove
1700sqft living
2600sqft slab
3 bed 2 bath
I have a buddy in commercial construction who is technically the GC and who I've paid a small sum to be my technical assistant and butt chewer.
So far this is what we have accomplished:
Fences - braces built and painted, meshwire stretched. (This should ideally be done in winter not july)
Soil test and foundation design - this black clay is brutal. Soil test showed over 5" of movement possible. Engineers suggested chemical stabilization injection, select fill pad, and lots of post tension cables.
Water - trencher rented and pipe laid for meter and to house. Podunk water supply companies are the worst but I guess it's better than digging a well.
Dirtwork/driveway - rough dirt work was done followed by the soil injection. This week pad was built up with select and crushed concrete was hauled in and the driveway installed.
Metal building - found someone to stand building and we've designed the building with Muller.
Got the electrician and plumber on standby waiting on concrete contractor to form it up.
