Two Weeks!!!

I wish i was saying our house would be done in two weeks but... not even close.  Nope the drywall and the stucco just arrived onsite.  Still sitting in a huge pile outside and inside the garage.  The good news is they have taken to our recommendations and the recommendations of the financing company to go ahead with the appraisal.  So... I'm thinking since they can't get us into the house quick enough they think they are going to appease up by getting the appraisal.  I'm not holding my breath.  I still think the appraisal will come in round about 140's, nowhere near the 160 they hope to get.  Either way, it should be an interesting next two weeks.  Since we are so confident the appraisal will go through, we've decided to start our scout work in looking for a preexisting house.  Of the five houses i scouted yesterday on my bike, we have two potentials with 1 possible.  Today, i plan on scouting another 3 houses but will more than likely only get 1 potential with 1 possible from that trip.  That leaves us with only 6 houses to determine our house from that would meet our needs.  The questions is what house meets our needs the best?  Each house has unique features that set them apart from the others all have at least one advantage and one disadvantage.  I feel like we are on the show house hunters only this time it's in real life.  The good news is in the next two weeks we will find out either way if we are going to buy the house we are building or else buy another house.  Time will only tell.
