Signed on the Dotted Line

We signed the contract for the new place today - many, many pages, but it was pretty straightforward. Guess there is no looking back now! I have a list of things that I now have to do, so I need to check my calendar to see if there is a good day that I can take off work to do all the running around.


Once I get all my tasks done, we will go back to pick out our colors. They said it might take 2-4 hours...uh, no...I don't think so! Terry says I can pick what I want, but I can't imagine that it will take so long!


Yes - it is starting to feel like this is really going to happen! We are excited! ...and I do have to say that the person we are working with is just a perfect match for our style! She is laid-back, easy-going and NEVER pushy or overbearing, and she is one of the main reasons we chose this builder. (Oh...did I mention that I told her I would send her the link to this blog?)

New Beginnings

I have never had the desire to be a blogger. It seems a bit self-centered to think that anyone would care to read my thoughts or experiences, yet, here I am composing my first blog post!

The main reason for the blog is to document the process and progress of building a new cabin on our lakefront property. The lot is very nice, and the lake is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing, but the current structure is falling apart. I don't even want to go there any longer. The list of problems and needed repairs is long, and the best option for it is a bulldozer.

Terry and I are finally both on the same page with what needs to happen, and we have found a house plan that will suit the lake and our lifestyle. Thus begins the process to be documented here. Be assured that this is not going to be a walk in the park...but I am getting ahead of myself...
