April 21, 2009...Our loan officer finally called today to let us know he had received our completed appraisal. Although he thought the appraised value was "conservative," it was still right on target and in line with our estimated costs to build. As soon as the settlement company has the paperwork prepared, (he thought sometime today), we should be able to set a closing date, and really start things rolling.
The next thing to be done is to have the well drilled and capped. Then our excavator will return to dig the trenches for the footers. We'll have the foundation and the ground floor walls poured, then framing can begin. Once the house is water-tight, we'll get to work installing the radiant heating system, the electrical, and the plumbing systems. We'll install the fiberglass insulation, then the framers will return to install and finish the drywall. Somewhere in there we also have to arrange for the sewer system installation and the outdoor wood furnace delivery and set-up. Oh...and in amongst it all I think we need some inspections...LOTS of those, I believe. And then we'll paint the walls, stain the doors, paint the trim, lay the flooring, install the trim...and MOVE IN!!! Woo-hoo!!!
Yes...we're crazy.
We know this.
Yes...it's a lot of work.
We know that, too.
We honestly enjoy it and are looking forward to watching the process unfold and doing all we can to make this dream a reality. And, then, RESTING.
For a long...long...time.
Stay tuned,
Kris
