So, SIX MONTHS after putting our house on the market, and making an offer on 2+ acres of river front land the same week, we are FINALLY signing papers at the title company.
What an ordeal. First doing a damn near full remodel of our old house, moving into a rental, and then working out a house plan to fit the extremely limited buildable footprint of the river property. The problem there was due to a "road" easement for a boat launch that washed out in '96.
There were so many delays we thought we lost it twice when our closing deadline expired. Thankfully the sellers didn't have cash offers waiting in the wings This has been one the biggest PITA's we've ever been through. Still plenty of construction stress ahead this summer but I can finally say this WILL be our future backyard!!!
