It's FINALLY happening!

We got a call from our project manager, Ben, today and we will FINALLY be breaking ground on Thursday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought this day would never come. It seemed like setback after setback happened and we were beginning to think that maybe this wasn't supposed to be. They start you out like a bullet out of a gun and have you pick all your finishes and get all the financing in order within the first couple of weeks. That was the fun part! If the house comes together like it has in my imagination it will be BEAUTIFUL! Well, then the brakes were put on because the style of home we want is not built in the community we are putting it. There are only colonials there and we are building a ranch (gotta think of our golden years, ya know!) So, they had to send all of the finishes to underwriting to see if what we wanted would be supported in this community. After the 3rd appraisal we finally have every duck in a row and can start! I told our project manager that it is his sole responsibility to keep this process migraine free for me. One migraine and I get to dog him!!!!! lol    Once the basement is dug, they will pour footers on Saturday and then - if all goes as planned - will pour the foundation on Monday. Pictures are forthcoming so enjoy this adventure with us!! It should be a BLAST!
