Next Steps...

So, the draftsman assured me that we will have our final plans (with driveway and earth change permit) by the end of next week. I hope he makes good on his assurances.

In the meantime, this is our to do list:

• Call the Department of Planning and Natural Resources and make sure we know all the requirements for getting a building permit
• Call the bank and make sure we know exactly what we will need for our construction loan
• Start filling out our building permit applications

Once we get the floor plans and Earth Change & Driveway permits, we need to:

• Start clearing our land and put in our driveway
• Submit our building permit applications
• Get a final estimate from the contractor
• Apply for a construction loan
• Buy tickets to Miami (to get supplies)
