Made the Decision to Definitely Go Forward

EEKS !  Scary  A big decision for 2 people with no income or present job .  Much thought and prayer has gone into this decision and we feel like it is the right thing to do.  We met with Chris today out on the lot and he is giving us a good price so we are getting excited.

Tomorrow we have to talk to the health department and find out if the septic permit and well and site plan are ready.  We have to wait for that to begin the grading of the land.  If we don't get started by the first of November Chris says we will have to wait until Spring.  We are going to push to get things going.

The weather has turned to beautiful and cool.  Only the maples have changed to red and most of those leaves have fallen but the goldens have not turned yet.  It is cool sunny and dry-my favorite temps.  Today I collected wild flowers in Fall colors for a home arrangement.

Preliminary Preparations

September 15, 2009-Tomorrow we will meet with the builder we think we are going to use but we are waiting for him to give us a bid. An architect formally drew the plans my husband created and now we are waiting for the builder to tell us how much it will cost. We may literally be starting over at square one. After we visit some relatives in New Jersey, we are coming back to Fleewood and will rent a cabin so that we can watch, and hopefully expedite, the house building endeavor. One other thing we need to get started is the heath and the building department to OK our septic permit and locate our well. We will go there tomorrow and find out what's up with that. In order to build in our community, Eden's Gate, we will need the approval of the developer/architectural review committee.
