We saw deer
We went out yesterday afternoon to the lot and we saw 5 deer there. I was so excited! I wish I would have brought my camera. I am going to buy a salt lick for the deer for them this winter.

We closed on the Lot
As of Friday, we own the lot! We are excited that we closed on the lot and it is now ours.
We meet with another builder on Monday. When we receive all their proposals back we will make a decision on the builder and then we will begin the building!
We plan to go out to the lot this afternoon if it is not freezing and just look around. :)

Small update on our progress
We called 4 builders to get estimates for building. These are my first opinions from meeting with them or talking with them
Builder #1- I think he will be lower cost yet still does decent quality work.
Builder #2- He was very knowledgeable. I bet his work is more costly.
Builder # 3- Hard to get an appointment with, so he is more busy and in more demand
Builder # 4- Never returned my call, so he is out of the running
We have met with 1 and 2 builders so far. It was interesting to see how different their ideas were. We have scheduled an appointment with builder #3 and will meet with him soon. We will meet again with builder #1 this week to get his estimate. That should be exciting.
We close hopefully on Friday if all the bank paperwork gets done.
We drove by the lot and were excited to see many deer tracks there!
