Default House construction started [pics]

Building in Naples FL started! Because I live so far away from the site, I will only get to visit it maybe twice before it's completed
It would be nice if it could be ready for spring break.

Thanks guys.

Had to upgrade to the 3 car, that’s really starting to be the norm anymore (his, hers and his ) They were running a 6 month build but now with the aftermath of Katrina, I don’t know what that will do to material and labor shortages. It would be nice to have it done for spring break but I think there are other people who need the resources more so what ever it takes I guess.

That gator was my armature attempt of chopping it in there

The alligator garden was my title. It’s really a preserve area, it won’t be built on so I won’t lose that privacy…although I have no idea what lives in there.
