It's Been a Long Time Coming

Given that we signed papers to build at the end of February/beginning of March, and we haven't had any snow since early April, one would think we would be a couple months away from closing on the house, not just starting to dig the basement. But then it wouldn't be us if that were the case.

The good news is though, that they have officially started moving dirt and our basement is starting to be dug out. The construction manager says that it will take 8-10 days to complete this first step, then they will move on to the floor and frame. Won't that be nice? 

Unfortunately with all the delays we have experienced we will not close in time to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary in our new home, but hopefully we will be in shortly after Labor Day - giving me time to still grow grass before winter sneaks up on us.

All I can say is it can't come soon enough. Condo living is not for me, or the dog. We are both more than ready to pack up, move out and start living in our dream home and have our beautiful yard and deck to enjoy each and every day.

So the countdown begins. The construction is under way. And the husband is about to start driving the wife crazy with everything from wall paint to cabinet hardware.

AlI want to do is just enjoy this small victory!
