Paperless

SO here's the skinny on the house.

We were supposed to get the plans back last week, but turns out they weren't done...so Bill and I are going to the 1st revision this Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully we won't even need the second revision. Then, plans are done! These 'plans' are very basic from what I understand, and are mainly for the framer telling him where to put walls and such. As far as the 'designing' plans go...that won't come until August/Sept sometime. Then, Ryan and I leave for Hawaii on the 12th and hopefully they break ground while we're gone! WOAH.

Also. Turns out, we have a German neighbor who lives in a house to the west, and one empty lot to the east of ours. The German, whom Ry met...thinks his name is Horst, but he didn't want to make him say it again. haha. Anyhoo, he apparently didn't' pay to get his lot surveyed when he built it, so this whole time, he's been mowing, landscaping, and watering with underground sprinklers about 15 feet of OUR LAND!! Ya, he wasn't too happy when he found out. ooops. Tickin off our only neighbor and we don't even live there yet. crap. But, he'll move all that stuff before it gets plowed apart when they dig our basement. So that was interesting news. I'll have to be really nice to him...maybe make him some cookies or something.

That same day, Leo (guy #2 who is helping Bill build our house, lives across the street from our lot) told us that HIS next door neighbor (so diagonal from us) is Dr. Andrew Bargarin, the new dentist who took over some other guy's place right by Lakeshore High... Neal has been advertising Ry as "Lakeshore's Dentist", and then this guy comes in and tries to take that name too. hahaha. SO, little neighborhood competition goin on. oh man. Just our luck. maybe we should have done a background check on the neighbors before we purchased anything. HA!

There's just a lot of little things that we kinda need to get done before we go on vacation...hope we remember everything! At night after the boys go to bed I get a chance to catch up on some stuff and feel like I'm back in the know. =) And so that is what I will go do right now....and then go to bed cause I'm wiped.

And who said building a house was stressful. I LAUGH in the face of Stress!

AH AHHH AHHHHH!!!
