The PA House

Mental note - must come up with a better name. Andy was voting for "Overdale" because he says it's from some song. I think I'm leaning towards "The Rosie Knoll" in honor of our favorite goose. Let the voting begin.

Moving on though with my initial thought process. This last Spring has been consumed with the PA House. I finally received my Orders from the government and we were able to officially move forward. We spent pretty much all of May, finalizing all the specs and trimmings. Who knew there was so much that went into a house! So much for picking lights, faucets, flooring and calling it a day. The minute I thought I'd picked the last doorknob, molding, and door there was another soffet, gable bracket, and louver thing. Overall that was the fun part, designing our dream home - even if the price kept inching upward. Hey, at least we ended up under budget. That's got to count for something right?!

Closing on the construction loan is currently set for June 30th, so we'll see. Granted these things never go as scheduled, so we may be looking at early July, but at least we should be breaking ground within the month and done by early December. Perfect timing.

And once we've gotten the new place under control, we can move right along to selling the current place. Always something to help make life interesting.
