Final Blow

So, some bad news to report. We are going to have to sell the property and hold the stawbale plans for another lot. It all started when the lot had to be re-surveyed. There was a discrepancy with some survey results and a technician went out to clear up the issue. After the lot lines were cleaned up we discovered that our lot started several feet back from where we originally thought. With the new lot lines we needed a geo-tech consultation. Sounds like bad news, huh? Well, it was. Turns out the back of our house would be hanging over a pretty steep cliff and would need pilings to keep it from sliding into the seasonal ponds at the bottom of the 30 foot cliff. We'd also need a pretty serious fence to keep the boys from rolling into the same pond whenever they were outside. A and I talked it over and we've decided to sell the property. The lot is great. It's beautiful, on a quiet street, the neighbors are nice--our house just won't fit. With only five months left on the construction loan we don't have the time to adjust the plans. Even if we wanted to switch to a two-story house the architect is in New Zealand working on a huge project. If you know someone looking for a great lot, drop us a line!
