DAY 191 - GOD is good!

With all the crazyness going on in our financial world, interest rates have been all over the place this year. Our construction rate was 5.75% but we couldn't lock in the permanent rate until we were about 20 days from closing. We have been watching the the past few weeks, but they have been hovering between 6.2 and 6.3%. Historically that's not a bad rate, but in the current conditions I was looking for 6% or better. This morning it dropped to 5.75% for a few hours and we locked it in!

As of this morning, we still had one bathroom to be finished (faucet, shower door, toilet), the kitchen sink drain and dishwasher needed to be hooked up and several odds and ends to be tied up. They are supposed to be finished today and we plan to start moving tonight.

I haven't posted any updated pictures because all the tools have been in the way. We plan on taking some before we move anything in and I'll try to get them posted soon. (maybe this weekend if our DSL gets installed).

Congratulations on finally getting to move in. what a blessing. Love ya'll. MeMa
