Tomorrow we are going up to the property...

I am getting ready to start packing. We are leaving with another load of Rob's garage stuff tommorrow. We are hoping that the Health Inspector can find the property this time and do the testing while we are up there (so we can guide him in), that will help get us along further in the permitting process. Hoping to go swimming in the springs in the afternoon and clean up there. Then take Ethan for dinner somewhere up there for his birthday (its Tuesday). Then tuesday we'll get to see our new home be delivered to the property and watch it get set into place. I am sure I will have pictures and video to show when I get back. Very exciting. We also have a few other folks lined up to get things moving on the modular so its a home and closer to the final inspection. Lots still to do... a/c, water heater, walls up, bathrooms modified, kitchen installed (small kichenette for now), some electrical redirecting for switches and possibly more plugs, electric run from pole to the modular, septic, well... Hmmmh thats all I can think of for now.

Things are moving along up north. Rob got a call from the guy clearing and he needs another day to finish the job... More money, just hoping we can cover it all in the end. We are still pending the county to approve the floor plan. Crossing my fingers. Also we have a hiccup with the closing the second mortgage is playing hardball. The realtor is working a different angel and Rob has to call the second tonight. OY!!!

More Updates

Rob just called me and looks like he has been a busy boy up north. The land clearer is going to finish what we need tomorrow. The guy that is putting our modular on the property next tuesday. So it looks like things are moving along nicely. He is pulling permits tomorrow as well a permit for the septic tank and arranging for the soil sample to be done. So I am happy to report things are progressing and I can't tell you how good that is.

Now off to finish some cleaning, laundry and start some packing.

This morning I took the kids to a free bowl from 9 -11 am with the Cub Scout pack that Ethan just "graduated" from. It was nice to see some of the pack families and to watch the kids bowl. I am currently attempting to get the kids to get their rooms in order. We have decided to try to sell the boys bunk bed set as well as our bedroom set. Looking for a change and dragging it up in the move is not appealing, LOL!! It looks like closing is July 14th for this house. We are hoping that our timelines and money all come together for the property up north. Started sorting my room today and still have lots to do around here as well as keep up with the normal routine. I need some of the energy these kids seem to have and waste an uproductive things. OY!!!! Rob took his old work truck up today that stopped working to the property. We are planning to use it for storage up there for the time being.

Not much else to report, next week is the last week of school. Good and bad all rolled into one... LOL!!

Moving on UP...

LOL!!! Not to much new to report except the kids activities are done. YAH!!! The only thing left is 8 days of school and 5 of them are 1/2 days, summer camp for the boys, and a field trip for my girl scout troop. Rob has the spot were our new home is going set up to be cleared this week, as well as a 10 -15 foot wide driveway up to the middle of the property and a spot for a chicken coop and garden. As we have money we will do a little more clearing and leave the better oaks in place. There is a property across the way diagonally that got rid of all the pines and not so great trees, they left the oaks and planted grass and I must say its just beautiful. I look forward to doing the same down the road. Rob also purchased our next project, I mean home. We now own a used Modular Daycare that we will be turning into a home. A little untraditional, but apparently its better than the rest of the stuff we looked at last weekend within our budget. We are looking to get away from all the bills, so this is our fresh start. Other than that I am starting to pack this weekend and get rid of stuff and prepare for our move. Our time line is still a little in the air, we are waiting on the bank to determine when the closing will be.
