Not Happy! Survey/Topography/Bound Posts

At our bank's suggestion, we hired Brian Moseley to do the required Survey as well as the Topography and bound posts. We didn't get an estimate before starting because of the bank's recommendation and because of representations that Brian Moseley had made to us about the cost when he did other work for us. However, we were very surprised when we received the bill from Brian Moseley. It was alot more than what we expected based on our prior conversations with Brian Moseley. Our Loan Officer was also surprised by the amount, but I must admit that he is not accustomed to seeing the price of the Topography and bound posts, since they are not required by the bank. It also didn't help that Brian Moseley had sent an estimate to the bank that was approved by the bank, but that never made it to our Loan Officer or to us. So, I guess we are already over budget.

Road Cleared!

We spent a couple of hours working on the weekends for 4-5 weeks and we finally finished. The road to access our land has been cleared. Next step is to close on the land and get the plans drafted for the house.
