Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 82

The gears churn. This has been a week of waiting to hear from people. To keep my mind occupied, I took a trip up the mountain with my cousin and her daughter. We removed a couple more trees and put all the timber in the appropriate piles—one to age, one to trim further, and one … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 82

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 74

Phone calls and more confusion. The loan provider won’t close on the loan until we have a serial number for the home. The builder can’t give us a serial number until we’ve secured the loan. Dilemmas. So, I asked our sales rep to chat with our case manager. The best they could come up with … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 74

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 68

We talked with a loan officer this week about the latest loan modification. Our loan amount has been increased, which, of course, means higher payments. That should be okay as long as our rental is paid off sooner than later (it’s close). The next step should be getting a phone call from our case manager … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 68

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 66

We took a few steps back this week. 🙄 Because the world has gotten more expensive, we needed to get another estimate for our home. So, I called our sales rep and asked for the requested numbers. I was a bit surprised when our plan came in lower than their requirements, and for a lesser … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 66

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 64

Waiting, waiting, waitingWe’re forever waitingKeep these folks a waitin’For funds (Sung to the tune of “Rawhide”) This has, once again, been the story of our week. No word on anything—our building plans are still hung up with the state housing authority awaiting approval, and our disaster loan is stalled for the holidays. Which means that … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 64

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 63

It’s been another week of stagnation. The only progress we’ve made is crossing names off our Christmas list. Winter has finally arrived—sort of. Our area hasn’t had any snow to speak of, but the temperatures have sure plummeted. Morning walks now include bundling up with multiple layers, gloves, and earmuffs. If the temps get much … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 63

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 59

While last week felt like progress, this week felt like stagnation. I write these posts a day or two before they go live, but a lot can happen in that short time. We spent last Saturday participating in one of America’s least-favorite chores—raking the leaves and yet more apples out of the front and back … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 59
