I would almost call this last week productive. Last Friday I still hadn't received the electricity line invoice so called the main office and they faxed it to the Glen Rose office. I was in Dallas so couldn't do anything about it but went yesterday and paid the fee, signed an easement waiver, and left feeling like I finally did something.
Sunday I worked on the driveway, pulling endless thorny vines from the oak trees and cutting every small juniper in sight. Then I took a walk down the hill and found loads of cool driftwood and some small fossils. Still looking for that elusive dinosaur print- or at least a petrified tree! Went home bruised and scratched and happy.
The revised appraisal came through with mixed results. The land appraised out as I had hoped, but the house is still less than estimated building costs. Mike revised his building estimate, shaving off a bit here and there. Still out of whack, but it will have to do for now.
Yesterday I met with the Bank #2, First Financial. West, the young loan officer/VP, seemed positive. He will crunch numbers and meet with the lending board early next week to get final approval. He says he will give it his best sales pitch- and that based on everything he has read in my request there should be no problem. I will refrain from any celebratory action until I hearit's a done deal.
It has been soooo windy! No fires on Big Hill, no sirree.
Today I was assigned my 911 address (one call too late..he he). It is 1670 County Road 2012, Somervell County. If I want to receive regular mail out there I would have to get a Walnut Springs address. But, I couldn't possibly! It just wouldn't seem right.
