We Appraised!

We appraised *exhale* and got the news last week.

We also got another bit of news with our Mortgage Commitment.

It appears that we need to sell our existing home BEFORE we can close on the construction loan. *inhale*

It took us a good twenty-four hours to get past the shock and anger, at which point, all we could do was laugh.

House went on the market that night and we've been scrambling to get it ready-to-show.

We also have to start looking for a place to live whilst our home is being built (yes... pack twice, move twice).

The surveyor delivered the Easement Deed and map and now CL&P gets to sit on that for who-knows-how-long before we can start on the driveway.

Supposedly, we should get the last two things we need from the architect today to bring to the Town so that we can get our Building Permit approved.

Our windows have gone on sale (20% off) so we need to go in and pay for those but first we need to go through the plans with a fine-toothed comb because Frank and I have added a few windows and removed a few others.

To boot, the real estate market has picked up substantially in our area so I'm busier than I was three months ago.

Our heads are reeling.

We think it's worth it, but some days we're just not sure.
