Hurry up and wait

The bank is looking good so far. Our loan got approval, but now it is on to the "post construction appraisal" of the building, and an appraisal of our home. Evidently, these things take time, and it looks like our closing will get pushed back to mid-September. So, for now, we get to hurry up and be patient. We are still shooting for an opening date in the Nov/Dec window. We are going to need a TON of help from friends and family, mostly with tearing out all the old parts of the building.... there is a LOT of demolition to do. Not too much construction which is nice. We even get to rent one of those huge roll-off dumpsters... so that should be fun I suppose.

Maybe I will sit outside a couple of evenings and watch the dumpster-divers sift through busted plaster, stucco, and old carpet. I think they will leave dissapointed.
