next home. for now.

We found a rental property this weekend, so we have a new address for the next 12 months. It's better than I expected to find, updated maple cabinets in the kitchen, which opens to the den. It's also close to the lot and the lake. On to packing.

First look?

During our last meeting with Cliff we talked about site planning, ideas for space planning - big picture kind of stuff in my mind. Then he opens his notebook and shows us a drawing he "jotted down." What do you think? Scott and I both thought "well, what are we waiting for? let's start building!" If this is the kind of stuff he can create without much effort, we're can't wait to see what he comes up with. Next meeting is this Friday....

As of midnight 9/11, we have a contract on the house. Whew. It came down to the wire when we got a backup contract on the last day of the option period for the first buyer. At a better price. When it was all said & done, the first contract prevailed, we got out of paying for any repairs, and we close in late October. So now we're faced with the reality of purging and packing. And finding a place to live....
