It has been a stressful and busy week.
After much discussion, we're not going to continue with the new house we've been building. We talked to the builder and what they want to do and how they want to do it didn't match up with what we're after. They gave us back our earnest money and we're all okay.
This was disappointing for a couple days but it's rapidly becoming clear that this was, in fact, a Good Thing. We've found a house that we're interested in that's much closer to what we want. Oh, yes, the Mascord plan is pretty nice, and the location was very nice, but it was becoming clear as the house moved forward that it actually was just a trifle small for what we'd like. And the neighborhood was beginning to be every so slighly questionable: rumors were around that a few folks were thinking of adding concrete pads for RVs {shudder!}.
We looked at several houses on the market (there really is very little on the market in this town at the moment) and didn't see anything that grabbed us. But we did get a reference from someone who said that he had had his house built by a guy who he liked. We met him. We liked him. And we loved the house he had to show us. So we're planning on getting it. This means that we're going to be moving about this time next year, but that's okay. We'll have more news later.
