All loan paperwork is in and signed, and we are just waiting on the underwriters to finish doing their thing. We received an email that they may be completed and ready to close on the loan by end of this week - which is about 1-2 weeks earlier than they anticipated. Ugh - legalities! Once that is closed out we can finally break ground.
We are also hoping warmer weather this week will melt the half-foot of ice that has been covering most of the area and we can visit our lot with the home builder and make sure we all agree on house placement.
Since we are on a corner lot, and we will have a public sidewalk to the left (west) of the house, it will give the appearance that our lot is slightly bigger and we've discussed shifting the house this way slightly to give us (really - the dog) a little bit more room for the fenced-in yard. But, we don't want it to look lopsided either, so we'll see what Kai suggests.
In the meantime I have been frantically trying to figure out all this Kindergarten registration and before/after care for Jacob in this new school district. I can hardly believe we are dealing with this already! It's a little tricky working with registration when you don't have an established address yet. On the plus side, getting all the paperwork needed for the schools (and the loan) gave us the opportunity to go ahead and see our future full street address and number. It was pretty exciting to see it on paper and think: That's going to be our NEW home!
