We have picked the worst time EVER (or at least in the last 20 years or so) to build a house. And since we are knee-deep into it already, there is no going back. And I know that once it is over, I will be sitting in my glorious living room sighing contently how this was 'all worth it.' But I'm not! I'm in a tiny house that has a ridiculously powerful furnace that manages to sweat even me out in 1.4 seconds. It's like when they were calculating the power need of the furnace someone thought it was a 11,000 square foot house, not a 1,100 square foot house, and they upped it a bit 'for good measure.' And I am usually the first to say, "I'm cold." But now, I'm dying – from a heat stroke.
So, I think this afternoon I just might march into a bank and start making some demands. You know, "PLEASE give us our money!" They've already approved us, they just need to fork it over. I promise not to waste it. I just want to buy some bricks.
Yikes. This is horrible. How can they just not give you money for something already approved? I guess anything is possible these days.
ReplyDeleteI finally found out the reasoning - the government. (Isn't it always?) Since it is new construction, the gov has to come out to my property and make CERTAIN that my home is not in a flood zone. Apparently this is some new regulation because of all the issues in Louisiana.
