The Waiting Game

Since we last updated our blog we have been waiting for all the little pieces of the project to come together.  We had hoped to break ground in July after the renters moved out.  That was Plan A.   We are now on Plan C or D, hoping to deconstruct the existing house in March or April and then break ground on the new one. 

We have dealt with many different issues and delays since last we wrote:

• Wood-burning fireplace design – tricky in a very tight house
• Clarification of several LEED related decisions
• And of course the overall cost of the house

Each of these issues will be the topic of upcoming blog posts.

In the next week or so, we hope to meet with our builder, Larry Crane and Craig Burgess of Crane Builders to review costs before going to the bank to finalize the construction loan.  

From this point forward, our plan is to give you regular updates on what’s going on with the project.  We hope to post at least weekly, sometimes daily as we get into the thick of things.

We are anxious to get started, but a little scared too.
