Recorded
Small follow-up blurb to a post from last Friday… We received official word today that the loan has been recorded and funded. In other words, that obstacle is now out of the way. Once again, if you have any mortgage / financing / construction loan needs, please contact me–our mortgage person was awesome.
Next up - contact with escavators to prepare the homesite (detailed stuff, not just brute force clearing of trees). Also, contact the framers to discuss, well, framing.
We have been looking at and picking out the cabinetry. Apparently it takes quite a while to get the custom cabinets built, so we will be ordering them early on so that they will be ready at the point when they need to be mounted.
Lastly, much of the timber that we plan to remove has been cut. They will be wrapping that up very early next week. There is much scrap, anyone wanna cut and stack wood?!
The woods surrounding the house has been thinned–though in general it doesn’t appear much different. We elected to clear-cut a section (possibly 2) near the South end of the property as the timber there was suffering a bit, and its value would lessen in time, not appreciate. No brainer, in my opinion. There will be more pictures coming soon showing these areas, as well as the lumberjacks doing their thing.
