oh, deer
Thursday, June 14, 2007
For those interested in our effort to find a place to live when we move, here's an update.
We spent a significant portion of last week driving around looking at houses, talking to builders and checking out lots, and after weighing our options we decided that it would actually be cheaper to build new. So even though we've moved a hundred times or so (its an estimate) we're going to build for the first time this summer.
We looked at some truly horrible lots in the area we want to build in, but we found a real gem near the lake that we settled on and the builder that owns it turns out to be a friend of the family, so that could have gone worse.
The funny part though is that the first night we were checking out the lot it was near dusk and as we were driving slowly towards where we thought the lot was, a family of deer, a buck, doe and fawn crossed the road and walked directly across the middle of where the lot actually was. I am not one for signs, never have been, but if I were I would've made something about that.
Here's where our new castle will end up.
Because we know the builder they went ahead and started clearing and servicing the lot yesterday, before we've even signed the contracts, further validating that it's so good to know people.
I have a flickr gallery started if anyone is interested.
