Bit by Bit

Many people have asked, "So when does building start?"  I have even heard, "When is the new house going to be done?" 


The answer to both questions is, "I don't know!" There are many preliminary things to be handled before the builder can do anything. Most of those things are in our hands, not theirs! I'm working as fast as I can, but I do have a full time (plus) job, and much of what has to be done cannot be done outside of the normal work day. The lunch hour does not provide a very big window to make phone calls and discuss options. It certainly does not allow time to drive to the property or to the courthouse in Robertson County or run many of the errands that need to be done right now. I have taken some time off work to handle some things and have sent lots of evening emails to our sales rep.


Progress made

• Modified plans have been sent to the builder's corporate office for final redraws. 
• A copy of our deed for the lake property was obtained and provided to the builder. 
• A permit for a new septic system was purchased, freeing the builder to look at the options and design a plan for the new system.
• Inquiries have been made to determine how to manage the electric and water during the building process.

Holdups

• There is one main holdup right now - we need someone to do the demo! An inquiry has been made, however, no response yet.
• There are still items that we need to remove from the old cabin before demo can happen.

Keeping the end in mind will be a challenge, but the view down the hill, through the pines, and over the lake will continue to help. We are looking forward to having friends and family come to visit - the welcome mat will always be out! We may have to set up a calendar to schedule all our visitors...we certainly hope that folks near and far will come to sit on the porch and cruise around the lake with us!
