Building a Maracay Home

To Please Jamie......

I will let you ALL know the nitty-gritty. Nothing new has happened. Really. Nothing. We are waiting on the sprinkler system to be installed and then, we are told, we will get to do our electrical walk-through. That SHOULD mark the approximately 90 day mark until close, though who actually knows. The rest of the community is coming along nicely. They opened several other lots and most sold very quickly. The other homes being built are mostly caught up to where we are - in need of stucco and drywall but electrical and plumbing installed. We are going through the re-permiting to get the backyard approved - the hiccup that has held us up thus far. Knowing that Maracay is making an effort to get that resolved pleases me, though I do realize that some of their motivation is due to the fact that they have only received a sliver of the total cash we will eventually be coughing up for the house. They REALLY want me to buy this house. And I REALLY want to buy it - so it pays to have us all happy.

In the meantime, Eric spent a whole week convincing me to sell My House (as we call our current abode... that differing from His House that we are building). Essentially I consented to trying to sell it (and doing all that comes with that) and if it doesn't go before we move, we will attempt to sell or rent - whichever happens first. So next week we will have the interior painted and we have been moving out stuff to storage. We are pleasantly pleased to see that bulk garbage is just around the corner (LOVE Bulk Garbage!). With luck, we will get lots of hard work done soon and actually get to take a vacation during Spring Break week.

There - that is ALL the news that is left to fit. Sorry there are no new pictures - the house looks just like before...... take a gander if you forgot what it looks like :)
