Work has begun, but...

So, I went away to Miami and while I was gone Paul picked up our building permit and started clearing the land. We haven't finished clearing the land and I am keeping my fingers crossed that we don't hit any serious rocks that will cost us a lot of money to remove or force us to move our original home site.

I finally got to see the view from the land.

I am so excited, but there is one problem. Surprise, things are moving very slowly with Scotiabank. We met with a Scotiabank representative on a Friday afternoon (4 weeks ago). The representative helping us said I'll get in touch with you Thursday. We didn't hear anything, I called him that Friday and he said he was in a meeting and would call me back. I didn't hear back. I finally got in touch with him the following Friday and he let me know he was leaving town for two weeks. So I should be hearing from him Monday or Tuesday. We will just be starting the application process then. I knew that things were going to take longer than expected with the building process, but I didn't expect the delays to come from the bank. Silly me.

Right now we are paying for the land clearing out of pocket, but we hope to get some money from the bank soon so we can do more.
