I'm pretty confident we are going to make that goal as well. Lucky for me, my builder had two cancellations. He is leaning on my concrete guy now to get his part done so they can start. I need 1/2 mile of water district line laid. They were doing a "boring" today. Saying they are going to finish in ten days or so. Electric company is saying they will get my "pad/meter setter" done in a couple weeks. All my subs are waiting on the essentials to get done so they can start.

I'm using a construction loan to finance this operation until we can sell our existing property. I'd like to see all these processes go quickly so we can minimize the interest paid on the construction load. That clock hasn't started ticking yet but probably will in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for the updates Lynn. I challenge you to a friendly race toward completion. The loser has to send the winner something unique to the specific geographic area. You in? :D


I showed my wife your post and she said "you bet". So I guess were in.:thumbsup:

We have received all the needed documents and have given them to the builder. I already talked to the building inspector about the process/timing. He said once he gets all the documents we would get the building permit the next day. I expect our builder will deliver them today. So next week there should be a hole in the ground.:thumbsup:

My wife told the builder about the bet, not sure if he's buying a sack of spuds or what.:laughing::licking:

I might. My adventure isn't as interesting as Lynn's. I'm also pretty humble about it as is Lynn.

I've been taking pics and shooting video with my Drone. They'll pour my shop floor in a couple days. So I should have progress to report after that.

I won't post any of that in this thread.

Among the stress of a build I now have to figure out a good item to send Lynn and his wife when I lose the bet.... ;)
