Learning the virtue of 'Patience'... sometimes takes patience! We had a promising meeting with a contractor 3 weeks ago, and received a proposal yesterday. Oh my, chomping at the bit the WHOLE time! Upon looking over the proposal, it looks do-able!! Today was a visit to the credit union in which we left a copy of the proposal, to get the paper work started for the loan. I am sure that during, what is now, Lenten season...more patience will be what we will be working on in our lives. ;) Most of the house is packed up in boxes, but finishing this, will be keeping me pretty busy now. Once the house is packed up, we will need to begin removing the cabinets and room doors, along with much that is planned to be salvaged from this old house. We figure that the credit union will be wanting to send an appraiser to view things over. The excitement is helpful for now and I will focus on that to help with the patience part.
