The house building is sluggishly moving forward again. We finally have completed a few steps in the zoning process, and have gotten to the point where we're waiting for an appointment to go in front of the County Commission. Hopefully then we will get permission to zone the land, after which we have to have it surveyed, platted, and go BACK in front of the Zoning Commission so they can approve the way we have it drawn up.
Bah. Seems like much ado for a few lines on a map.
On another front, the houseplans are at long last almost finished. I'm pretty excited - I think it will be a good place to live. Three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, kitchen, greatroom , dining room, mudroom, a screened porch and a basement. I'm really looking forward to the screened porch.
Though we're building a larger house than we currently live in, we're losing 2 rooms, unless we can afford to finish a room in the basement. So I'm trying to think of the best way to make up for that space - it could get tricky.
After the plans are completely nailed down we'll give them to 2 or 3 of the builders we've met over the last 2 months and get estimates. Hopefully the estimate will be close to what we've projected and we'll acutally be able to afford the thing. I'm so very ready to get actual numbers and budgets and finally get rolling.
That's all I've got for now. Here's to hoping it's not long before I have another installment!
