We stomped around, sinking ankle deep into the mud, but\u00a0did not care. They had finally started construction on the house. After taking some pictures we retired to the bar at the Hickory House in Reynoldsburg for some celebratory cocktails and\u00a0two beautifully-charred steaks. Here are the photos. Not very exciting. Lots of dirt. But every new project has to start somwhere, right? We will be visiting every week in order to document the progress.
