Wow, has it been almost ten months already. How time flies when you're having fun. So much has happened in so little time. It's truly been a blessing.
The blog machine is starting back up and the inaugural post is a big one. We're now homeowners! Technically, we're only landowners with the land being cleared as we speak and the home getting built very soon.
The journey to this point has been long and tedious with many ups and downs. One possible scenario was buying a multi-family unit in a rougher part of West Hartford. Another scenario was buying a typical center hall colonial in snooty Simsbury. We decided to break from the pack and build in the up and coming cow town of Ellington, CT. We couldn't be more excited.
We plan to move in by the end of the year. Between now and then, wow, we have a lot of work to do. Every little detail must be decided by us. And if you know anything about us, we're going to research, analyze and question everything. I pray that our builder and sub-contractors (GC and SCs in builder lingo) will have the patience to put up with us.
Here's a pic of the lot after 2 days of clearing.
