Will We Ever Have a House?



I think I'd mentioned in a previous post that we're building a house in Bozeman, MT. I went up to Bozeman the beginning of February to pick out everything for the inside (flooring, cabinets, paint colors, light fixtures and so on). It was overwhelming but also fun. It would have helped if Ken would have been there to give his opinion. He'll just have to trust me. After anxiously awaiting the building to begin, ground was broke this week. We've been told the latest we should be in is the end of June. Just when it looked like things were underway, we got bad news. There are mailboxes for part of the neighborhood on our lot. We were told they would be moved but found out this week they will not move them. So we now have to change lots, which means the architect has to redraw our site plan, and the city has to approve the new plans. What the heck?! This is not what a VERY pregnant lady should have to deal with. I'm actually scared to ask how much this will put is back time wise. I don't even want to know. We do have a plan of what we're going to do when Ken gets back though (which is now in less than 4 wks!). We're going to stay in Baker the month of April. It'll give us a chance to get settled in with the new baby. We found a fully furnished house to rent for the month of May in Bozeman. http://bozemancottage.com/Peach.House.htm We will probably go to Libby the first 2 wks in June to spend time with family there. Then we were hoping to move into our new house mid-June. Who knows what will happen now.

Here's pictures of what was supposed to be our future house. I'm just hoping the rest of the process will go smoothly.

That sucks that your house has to move. I can't imagine building a house, house shopping was so stressfull but at least I could "see" what the final result was. I'm in awe of you picking out all the fixtures etc in a weekend. It took Adam and I over 7 hours to pick out a livingroom set. Good luck and I hope Ken makes it home before your son comes.
