UNBROKEN STRING

Custom home building is like a yo-yo. It's up, down, and sometimes the string breaks?

Yesterday was definitely up! We spent two hours in the builder's office intently poring over details small (cabinet knobs), large (steel versus shingle roof), and sublime (matte versus glossy finishes???). All the while maintaining a keen edge on the budget knife.

Just before I cratered with detail overdose, we adjourned to the land to talk with the builder and his construction superintendent about the essentials of life, liberty, and the American Dream in the following order of priority:

1. SEPTIC SYSTEM!!!!!
2. Water
3. Electricity
4. Slab engineering

The builder is saying we will be living in the house by April/May 2009. Let's all pray the "string" don't break.
