Time to get started

We're going to build a new house! First, we had to get a new MORTGAGE loan. Here we are, trying to do our bit to stimulate the American economy, and they rake us over the coals! Two CPAs, stellar credit, no debt - it took 3 months. Finally, after signing a stack of papers 3/4" thick (I measured), we are the proud owners of a home loan. Let the building begin!

But wait, first we have to tear down the existing house, because we're building it on the lot we already own. We moved to a lovely 3 bedroom apartment nearby. It's nice, but not "home." We jammed all our non-essentials in the 3rd bedroom, check out that pic!

Demolition takes place soon, and we are excited to get started! Follow along with us as we post stories and pictures of "Rose Raising."
