We're 39 days from closing on the new house. We're so close, yet it feels like move-in day is still so far away - mostly because Eric and I are anxious and excited to get settled into our new home. If you recall, we started this process right before Christmas 2017. It's been about a [...]
House Building: 65 Days Until Closing
