We secured the %5 down and handed it over to Gail. It was a scary moment, as we've been renting a house in Wilmington (after living with my parents for 10 months) and suddenly we were going back to the "committed" column. We ended up feeling like the living room was going to be too small, after measuring LeAnne's parents living room, which feels kind of tight. We've now crossed the 2000 square foot barrier, and are definitely pushing the Not So Big House designation, I feel.
We've had to nix the garage for now, as the home cost and land is right at the limits of our budget. Gail has permits, septic stuff and engineering things to get done, so I don't think they'll get started for a few weeks, but it's finally happening- we can't believe it. We love the lot- 10 acres, which is far more than we thought we'd be able to afford, but the economic downturn has really devalued land (for the time being).
