For almost 6 months now we have been waiting for the new place because of sewer permits and delays in sewer construction. After switching contractors and waiting for the go ahead from the county, we are finally breaking ground! The builder is still waiting for the job to be completed to celebrate and plan the […]
When the fridge arrived with a dented door we didn’t think much of it. The tech graciously ordered a new door, one we have yet to receive and hear about, but that we know has been ordered. For a 4,000 USD product, the shipping should have been so stellar that this would have not happened. […]
It has been a few weeks since 2017 started and I have a bit of a writer’s block. Yes, I have read a lot of books, articles and had a few lessons learned but nothing worth writing home about or as captivating as the story of the first few months with Zach or the new […]
Last week it looked like maybe, just maybe that sewer system may be installed in time for the holidays but, it was not meant to be. After a lot of negotiations and scouting out possible alternatives, we are back to square one. My builder is anxious to get this going. We are anxious to get […]
Well folks, the plot thickens. We miraculously landed a two week loan rate lock extension. Yay! But we are about to lose it, yet again, because our builder missed a few important dates because he went on vacation. To think we were moving out under the cover of darkness on Nov 28th and 29th sure […]
These last couple of weeks I’ve had to contract out many services to get both the sold and new houses ready to move in. From a new roof on the old Maison to the alarm system and cable wiring connections, I’ve been waiting for guys to show up and do something. The process has been […]

Be it contractual obligations, delays or bad decision making, communicating what the needs, requirements and nice to haves are essential to ensuring success. A contract can be broken and money can disapear down black holes; litigation can end up giving you undesirable outcomes. As […]
It’s official. The Enginerds have moved out of the Maison and are now living in temporary housing until Château closes. Woop woop! Leaving the keys was a bittersweet moment but we were ready to embark on the next 15 year journey together. The house had been with us 10.5 years and it was too small […]
This year has been horrible and it keeps getting worse. The election results… The DAPL… The resurgence of White Supremacy (which was always there though)… To top it off the Château will be delayed 3 more weeks and if our Plan A doesn’t work out, we will be officially homeless come November 30th. Many friends […]
I can’t blame my husband for falling out of love with the new house. The wait has mainly killed any shred of hope I had that he was going to be able to see past the project management snafus and enjoy his new home. Even with the updates we made, and the trim pieces and […]
