Good news

Well, when it rains, it pours. We got the final version of our plans, and all looks good. Of course, we still worry about money, but we can worry about that later. We have word that the site will be staked out on Monday, and on Wednesday, they will be digging for the footings and foundation. We're hoping that there is some real work done by the time Brittany is home after this next weekend.

Then, yesterday, we heard that we had an offer. It was too low, but it was real - $310,000. We countered with $320,000, which is lower than we wanted to go, but not by much. They countered with $315,000 and said they would go no higher. We countered with $315,000 with a November 3 closing. If the building on our house goes perfectly, it will be ready around then. Every delay will mean time we have to find somewhere else to live, and we watned to minimize that.

So we have not yet accepted the offer, but I suspect that we will. We only need a little more time to think about it.
