So here we are. The moment of truth. We've done everything we are able to do up to this point. RJ's dad, Roger Sr., has been here the past few days to help RJ rough in electric, which was amazingly helpful. (Photos of the house's present state below.)
The appraiser visited our house today and will give two appraisals to the bank. The first will project what the property
will be worth when we are finished, and would enable us to get a construction loan. The second establishes what the property is worth
now,
and would enable us to get an equity line of credit. Both have pros and cons and both would allow
us to take the next step to finishing the house.
So, as of 8:30pm this evening, we've been appraised.
They'll give the information to the bank. The bank will let us know how
much we can borrow and at what interest rate. And now...we wait. And
that's just about all I have to say about that. (And thanks, everyone, for the good thoughts. I can feel them working...it's like eating a piece of really good chocolate.)
In other news, as we dive into Taming of the Shrew rehearsals and the July 4th holiday
week, it may be rather quiet. Quiet in a way I haven't experienced
before in Creede. Though we've had a couple of clear days, the fires
still burn on the other side of the mountain to the south. Hopefully
there will be an onslaught of walk up ticket sales in the next few days,
but the week that is usually the busiest of the season, probably won't be. T'is strange...Okay bye.

| My contribution today was wiping off window sills and putting a couple of coats of paint on RJ's magic. |
