A Little Background and a Timeline

As most of you know, Brandon and I are building a new home. It all began back in August of 2006 when we listed our current home, which we bought in 2000 on the market for sale. The ground that we're building on is a new subdivision near Old Washington, OH. It is an 'executive' subdivision with specific deed restrictions (i.e. minimum sq ft is 2400, no cows or horses, etc.) We bought our lot and were just waiting on our house to sell. We had the option to do a bridge loan, but I knew Brandon's heart would never take it. It would stress him out to begin construction on a brand new place before our old one sold. Yes, that means moving twice, but financially it was the wise decision.

Our house finally sold on April 20, 2007. We were very happy with the sale price and had 2 weeks to vacate! With the help of our excellent friends, Bill Cowden, Todd Knauf and of course, my mother, who is a saint, we got all moved. The rental house is for another post. Stay tuned and welcome to our blog!
