After over a month of a blogging hiatus, I have returned. We have been super duper busy lately, but hopefully now I should have more time on my hands. I believe this is turning into a house building blog, as we pretty much do nothing else. Here are some of the things we have been up to...
-We had the land surveyed, and found that we will have 17.4 acres. We are so lucky! Don met with the lawyer, and we are in the works of getting our names on the deed.
-We met with our builder on Friday night and got our final cost estimate. I was so nervous! It turned out okay, and with some cuts here and there, I think we can make it work! Step by step we are getting closer to our dream home!
-We spent some time on Sunday afternoon touring a few homes on the Parade of Homes tour. We got some great ideas, and found out that we both agree on what we like and don't like. That will make it much easier once it's time to make our final choices! I am already looking forward to next weekend so we can see some more!
-I spent a lot of time looking at appliances yesterday, and have made our final (well final for now) choices on our fridge, range, micro, and DW. I'm still working on washer and dryer...two things I know nothing about, so will have to do lots and lots of research!
-We are waiting to get the material list from the lumberyard, and need to get the sworn construction statement to the bank before we can move along in the banking process. Once that happens, the fun will begin! At least I HOPE it's FUN!
It has been really stressful, but it will all be worth it in the end. I don't know exactly what the future holds, but I do know one thing...we're going to have a painting party, and would love help from anyone!! Food, drinks, music, and laughs will be supplied!!
