We went out to the lake October 15, and we even managed to get our daughter Kelly up early for a 7:00am (almost) start. It was her first trip out since construction was started on the house, and she was impressed. She also got a chance to meet our not so imaginary neighbors, the Coopers, who are also building a home with the Mahoney's. We learned on the Homeowner's web site that they live a couple of streets over from us back in Houston.
The first thing we noticed was the garage doors were up. It was supposed to have a lock box with a front door key in it, but it didn't and all the doors were locked. Laurie had to call hubby Brian to bring the key out to us (a rare Brian Mahoney siting).
Once inside, we noticed the trim carpenter had been hard at work building cabinets, hanging doors and well, putting up trim.Out b
ack, I got a real 
education on how our septic system works. As it turns out, ours is a real HOOT (those among you with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of how an aerobic septic system works can click on the link). The bottom line is that this bad boy outputs water that has 99% of the influent waste stream removed (and waters the yard!).
Back inside, we noticed our front doors had been delivered (they use temporary ones during the construction to keep from damaging the real ones). We just couldn't resist a peek, so we tore into the packaging. There will be a trivia contest question at our house to guess how many time the Texas lone star appears on out property!
We will be back in a week to check out a new shipment of granite that came in.
