Things have really been coming together with the house! We are waiting to hear back from the title company whether or not we can start clearing the land. Marty and Chris are coming to help us with that, so hopefully we can do it soon! We are meeting with the granite yard, Brian our drafter, and Duane our GC tomorrow. We will get our final final plans done so they can get to the bank by the end of the month. Once the bank gets them, they will schedule our appraisal the first week of May. Our appraisal will be good for 6 months, so hopefully we don't run into any snags! We are meeting Duane at our land, and will stake off our official house location! No pressure! Once we have that figured out, we can get our septic design, and finally our building permit.
We got the go-ahead to start buying things, so we (I) have been busy looking at EVERYTHING. We're keeping our eyes open for good sales, and figuring out exactly what we need. It's been lots of fun, and I'm really excited to start buying things! If anyone hears about good sales anywhere, let us know! We have most of the big items picked out (sink, faucet, appliances, some lighting) but waiting to buy them on sale. Getting impatient!
On another note, baseball season has started! YAYYYY! Noah is playing for the Watkins Clippers again this year, and we're hoping for another state tourney appearance! They had a great first game, beating St. Nick 13-6. The best part was Noah getting a home-run! He also went 3-6 with an RBI. He did awesome. They have their big home opener on Sunday, and it should be an awesome time. Come to Watkins to see them take on St. Augusta! Free hot-dog, hamburger, or slice of pizza and a drink with each paid admission! They will also be taking DVD footage at the game for their bid to have the state tourney in Watkins in 2013. That would be HUGE! I'm so excited that the season is finally here, and look forward to spending lots of time at the field and with the team! SO much fun.
Other than baseball and house stuff, we don't do a whole lot! A little fishing off the dock, and lots of walks with Harry! We are excited to start building, and look forward to moving into our dream home. I feel like the day will never come, but it will be here before we know it!
