I’m Getting Behind
I’m getting behind in the posting, due to everything that my wife and I have been doing over the past week to get this house project moving forward, so I’m going to start where I left off last week.
After we saw all the houses on the Tri-Cities Parade of Homes, we came home and Brenda loaded all the pictures that we had taken to Snapfish.com so that she could sort through them and print the ones we wanted to keep. When we looked at all the pictures, there were a bunch that were junk, but we did come up with about 75 that were good. When I say good, it means that they had something we either loved or hated in them. (We are trying to keep the two piles separate.)
On Thursday, the 13th of September, we didn’t do anything except sit down and make lists of stuff to do and who we needed to talk to, just to get to the financing part. The list consisted of:
- Lenders
- Contractors for an “Oversight Contract”
- Bids from subcontractors (Subs) for all the different parts of the house (You have to have all your bids in before you can get financed)
- Insurance people for “Course of Construction” insurance
- Walla Walla County for Mechanical, Plumbing, Driveway and Building permits.
- The City of Walla Walla for a permit for the trees I “have to plant” for the “Green Space” by my sidewalk and for Water and Sewer permits
- A swimming pool permit
- A copy of my CCR’s from the Title Company
- Tons more crap…
