After so much back and forth with the bank, we finally reached it. Closing day. There were times when we thought that we would never get here for lots of reasons.

This weekend, we had a meeting at the Ripplebrook lot with one of the Victory Homes site managers and a survey company. We were meeting to do a 4-corner stake out on the lot. Basically, it’s taking the 4 main corners of the house and placing them on the lot where they would be and
