We are settled!

We are in our long term rental now and have taken final delivery of our PODS shipments, stored safely away in a large climate controlled storage unit.  We've set up the rental with much of our belongings and are working on home construction.

We closed on our construction loan a week ago, have water on our property and the local electric coop is staged to get us power in the next week or so.  We've done some basic excavation on the property and hope to get started in earnest later this week.

The water meter is set and I've installed a 1.25" line down onto the property.  Need to have a back hoe come in and chunk through some rock and will extend the line on down.

Have had good luck establishing new Doctors and Dentists and have a really great local grocery store with every type of shopping imaginable an hour away in San Antonio.

Getting Started

We settled into our long-term rental and have just about finished transferring our stuff from PODS to local climate controlled storage. I met with our builder and his concrete contractor yesterday and we established the basic site placement for our new home and garage.  Really felt good seeing the foundation layout on our property.  Closing on the Construction loan is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon so we both feel like we are moving ahead.

Then I made a trip to San Antonio to run some errands and took the back way home through Bandera.  A very nice drive after making two long distance trips on I-10 recently.

The Kegerator is setup with 1/4 bbl of Lagunitas IPA, we've done some small repairs in our rental, and have moved most of our stuff swapping out kitchen tools and appliances.
