Dogs

First the dogs do some dirt grazing…

Then they wash it all down, and off, with some pond water.

Grass

Got the hill seeded with the grass kind. Maybe, by this time next year, it, the hill, will be green

1st winter with house

Not only are we moved in and enjoying the mud and such, but winter has finally arrived, here at Wekandu Acres!

New Year

We are looking forward to our first year in our new home.

Jeff of Sherlock Homes made the final walk through and will be scheduling the fix-it team for some time in March.

There’s some grass shoots peeking up through the mud, thanks to an unusually warm winter, so far.

We will be making our first mortgage payment in February, which, unfortunately, includes an escrow account that doesn’t earn interest. We’ll be trying to pay off the amount of principal that will bring us to 80% liability by the end of the year, I hope.

Happy New Year!

First Christmas

This is our first Christmas here, and, besides having too many people in a small house, it’s been a wonderful experience.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

It’s Final!

Well Passed (after 3 inspections)! The building inspector came by, and handed me a certificate of occupancy; wished me a Merry Christmas, and left. I think this may well be the last hoop.

We still have to have the walk-through-inspection from the builder to go over what needs to be fixed. And, there is the final draws on the construction loan, but turn-over to a regular mortgage is very near.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Final Appraisal & Inspection

The bank has order the final inspection and appraisal, which will take place today. ‘Bout time! We also had the well chlorinated and tested for the third time. Hopefully, this time it will pass. Keep your fingers crossed.
