halleluja!

171:365

After months of wrestling with the bank, or rather, arguing with The World's Most Inept Loan Officer…we have a close date for our construction loan!

Monday afternoon we fork over a giant check, sign papers until our hands cramp, and walk away free to tear the damn thing down so we can start building.

I haven't looked at my house plans in two months. Just couldn't bear to look at what might be when I had no control over when we could start. I just might have to look at 'em tonight. A celebration of sorts.

I've already called my auction guy, my tree guy, my demo guy, and my contractor.

All this makes me positively giddy.
