Wow. How can something so exciting be so frightening at the same time? We are ecstatic about the work our draftsman has done for us http://www.palmerhomedesign.com/ but now that we are almost done with that area it's frightening to think about how much is left and how much it's going to cost! We are officially up to 2460 sq. ft. AHHH! It got a little out of hand considering that we wanted to be around 1900. Oh well. Who needs flooring and countertops?
So the next step is to get the plans over the Pinal County and get our building permits. From what we've heard it's only taking 2-4 weeks. Wouldn't that be nice. The plan is to start building June 1. Yay!
So far we have cleared the front of the property of any and all palm prongs. They are a miserable plant and I can't wait to rip them out. We have loaded the junk piles along with the mangled sleeper sofa with the petrified dead cat on it into the trailer. We picked up old roof shingles that were half buried in the dirt. Now we need to mow the tall grass, burn the dead trees, and rip out the Palo Verde and Mesquite trees on the property. Oh yeah! And we found someone to take the nasty trailer. He's even giving us a $4,000 tax credit. Amazing.
I am so excited to begin this journey. It really is a dream come true. Mr. D and I are scared though too. We are hoping and praying that we will have enough money to make this happen and that we will have a finished house when we are done. Amazing, Scary, Excited, Exhausted, Nervous, and Grateful. All mixed up.
