In case you hadn't guessed, we still don't have our final plans. The house is ready but they needed more time for the outbuilding. So we decided to wait to submit the house, as the outbuilding is already on the site plan and we would be bidding and constructing at the same time, so it only makes sense to submit them for permit at the same time. We have our appt set to pick up plans this Wednesday and we are really hoping to walk out with them, as the longer this goes on the longer it's likely to take the county to review and issue our permits, since we are now getting towards the busy construction season. Did anyone notice how beautiful it was out today?!
In the meantime we met again with our first choice builder. He took the "almost" final plans from us and is going to start getting bids from some of his subs. We also went to the lumber yard to start discussing materials. Decisions will be upon us before we know it.
Lastly, I thought I'd share something else cool we discovered. There are draft plans to put a very nice conservation area right across the main road from our new property. Being near a park for the kids and accessible biking and running trails were 2 things I knew I would miss about our current home location.
While currently there are no funds or timeline to develop the park, it is a step in the right direction that a final plan is drawn and up for vote in June. Just as we hope to see happen with our house, a plan can turn into reality before you know it...
