A note to readers:
This is a long story that unfolds chapter by chapter through the eyes of two protagonists -- Mark and Elsa, and as in many of my other stories involves a growing spate of horny characters.
Every ten chapters or so I will provide a short summary at the start of that episode to bring new readers up to date (see start of Ch. 50).
This story could appear in a number of genres (Loving Wives, Incest, Lesbian, Fetish, and more) depending on the chapter, but the overall theme is Group, so I have applied this moniker to all chapters. The story is still being written, yet I intend to post a new chapter every couple of days. Enjoy.
Chapter 53 -- House Construction. A New Hobby. Party Guests
Mark
Mid-morning Saturday, the week before the party, I stood beside our array of cars at the farm. We were five days into work on the new house. Greg and Sean from Elsa's architectural firm were atop a pile of dirt about twelve feet tall with the new construction manager, Doug Reed. They were looking at a page from the hundreds of blueprints for the house, and pointing in various directions.
When I'd arrived on site, Elsa had stuck a printed page into my hands, and said, "Here are our entries for the name of the house and property to replace 'The Farm.' I won't tell you who suggested what, so you won't have any biases. We had a bunch, even from Brita. I listed them alphabetically in making the list. We like all of them, so any will do from our point of view. Any that one of us didn't like have been weeded out of the list. I assume if you have any you can add them to the list."
I laughed, "I'm not entering my own contest, Elsa." She gave me a hug in return.
"Oh, it's a contest, is it? We didn't know that? Well, in that case, I hope I win the big prize." She glanced down at the perpetual lump in my jeans that I maintained whenever I was around my wives. They were always arousing and at that moment Elsa's cleavage was part of the reason.
We walked around a number of construction barriers and watched as a large concrete truck started to pour the concrete footings for the house. Two more trucks were waiting. There were piles of dirt everywhere. Everyone, including me, wore construction boots and jeans. Elsa was the only one in a hard hat at that point, but it looked incongruous given her tight jeans and the shirt she had unbuttoned to nearly her navel sans bra. The cool weather was doing even more to accent what she did for the front of the shirt. I do have to say that all the five girls looked exceptionally hot in the tight jeans they'd adopted as their uniform for the site visit. Many of the construction guys checked them out as they wandered around the construction site.
I pointed to another construction site about a half mile away to call attention to it to Cindy and Elsa, "That'll be your new hanger very soon. Doug told me a few moments ago he'd have that completed before Christmas; room enough for several planes, office space, and even some overnight accommodations for visiting pilots or an overflow of guests from the house. The freshly paved runway stood out from this viewpoint like a new highway -- a highway to the skies.
In a different direction but much closer to where the house would be, I pointed at where a bulldozer and backhoe were at work clearing a site. "And over there will be our swim cabana. Don't worry after it gets landscaped you'll barely see the building either from the river or from here."
Sheila asked, "How will they get power and utilities?"
Sean had just joined our circle. He responded, "The cabana will use filtered river water, a pump, and a pressure tank for water. There'll be a separate well for the hanger. Both will have independent generators if the power fails. Otherwise we'll have utilities brought in from the east where there's a pole line. The house already has an underground feed from the main road. There will be some interconnection between the power feeds so that if one goes out, the other will automatically pick up the load since they're on different parts of the electrical grid. The house also has its own standby generator. We also need some major underground feeds between the various sites for security lines. Those pipes and junction boxes go in next week."
Greg joined us along with Doug Reed -- our site manager, who we'd all met. Greg pointed out, "The fencing will start to go in next week along the north and east sides of the property. We're also going to pave most of the driveway and parking area with the undercoat next week to facilitate getting the construction vehicles up here in bad weather. We learned from Wednesday's rain that this place can become a mud pit if we're not careful."
Elsa pointed out to the others, "Working on Saturday is not normal on projects like this. We're doing this to close in faster on the July 1 completion date."
I nodded and said to Doug, "Remember, if you make that date I'll pay a five percent bonus to every person that worked on this job atop what they made while they were working on this job. You make that date and I guarantee you a lot more than that." Doug already knew he'd get a minimum of twenty-five percent bonus if we could move in on July first or earlier.
Doug looked surprised. "That's very generous. I'll pass the word around again. To beat some of the cold weather, we do plan to work on Sundays and some holidays. We'd like to be working inside the shell of the house by Christmas, but that's pretty optimistic."
We were all over the home site. As the concrete footings were poured the project became more real to all of us. We could appreciate the footprint of the large house. Off to one side a truck was off-loading the forms for the foundation walls.
I had to laugh when I turned in a circle and looked back at the caravan of cars we'd come in. The limousine and war wagons were there with our security guys looking ever vigilant, a few scanning the property around us with binoculars. Standing apart from the others was my beat up CJ6 Jeep that I'd bought from Andy's son when I'd been trying to fool Elsa into thinking I was just a normal guy and not a billionaire. The Jeep was not exactly a warm or comfortable ride given the chilly weather, but that could change in an hour this time of year. Cindy had driven her six-year-old Toyota sedan so that she and Elsa could go to martial arts class and then to the gun range and meet Deke for a short session later that afternoon. They'd be followed by a war wagon with a security detail.
After we sated our interest in the initial progress on the home's foundation the six of us took off in different directions: Elsa and Cindy to the gym to meet Wan Suh -- their instructor; Melanie, KC, and Sheila to take the limousine back to the condo; and me to 'run some errands.'
The errand I had was a first for me.
