5815 Lee Avenue
The intent of this Blog is to track the progress of the construction of our house at 5815 Lee Avenue for which planning began over three years ago. Originally, I wanted to manage the whole thing myself by hiring all of the subs. But in the end we decided to hire a builder to do the core and shell. I'll do the permit procurement, site work and interior finishes.

Today we put up the construction fence to block off access to the back 150 feet of the property in preparation for the new septic field. The DuPage County Health Department was clear that this must be done before a permit can be issued. Access to this area is prohibited except for septic construction activities. Once the county approves the new septic, we'll take the snow fence down and I'm sure Jack will be the first to access it.
