Planning

Hi ...we are excited to start this Blog to keep everyone updated on the progress of our home building project!! It's a dream come true for Tom to build our family a home with his own hands, so we can build a great amount of sweat equity on a new home!!
Tom will frame, set windows, roof, hang siding, do the finish work, hang cabinets, lay flooring, and whatever else he can to build that equity!! Richard Guthrie will be working with Tom on the construction project! We are thankful for his help in advance...thanks Richard!! You and your family are a blessing!
Our status currently is "waiting on the loan to close"! We have heard from our loan officer LouAnne and she said that the assessment on the house will be done by tomorrow (hopefully) and it will go to the underwriters for about a week and then we should be ready to close. We had to sign an addendum to the Purchase Agreement for the land since it's gone longer than we expected of course.
In the meantime Tom has been working on things like getting the approval for a septic system, and turning in the application to the city for an approval to build our home!! It was quite an extensive amount of paperwork! Tom has been doing such a great job at getting all that tedious paperwork done! Good job honey!!
Melissa is still mulling over how the kitchen cabinet layout should be arranged as well as the utility room, walk in pantry, and the bathrooms...those are important areas that need to be functional. Hopefully the decisions made will be attractive to prospective buyers should we sell the house in a couple of years!!!
Well thank for reading our blog and we will post pictures later & fill in on the progress!
