We Might Just Start Moving Dirt

I got a call this week from the builder's sales agent saying they got the permits back and they're ready to schedule our construction meeting. He was so excited to make the call to me that when I didn't share in his level of excitement he repeated why he was calling thinking I didn't hear him. 

I heard him. 

It's just that after two month of 'feet dragging' and delay upon delay for the most curious of reasons, I guess you could say the lustor has worn off. I've been ready to build for a couple months now. In our estimation we should have a basement, four walls and the starting of a roof by now. Not just permits and a promise for a construction meeting in a week.

I don't want to be cynical but the adage "I'll believe it when I see it" seems to have become my mantra with them.

Yes, I am excited to build our dream house. Yes, I'm excited to close and move in. But I know there are many other things along the way that we will encounter first. So I will just say I am cautiously excited about what may actually begin to materialize.

And I guess with that.... Adventures in building may just take its next turn....
