We're gonna do it!

We're going to do the addition! Yeah! I am excited, scared, nervous, happy. We did our usual 'spread sheet analysis' last night. We're admitted spread sheet geeks. Everything needs a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet does not lie. So, when we looked at building, versus selling our house and buying new - we can ALMOST afford to buy our own house. It's actually pretty funny. Despite the fact that our house has appreciated a GREAT deal - by the time we pay realtor fees, fix the roof, increase our mortgage interest rate by over 1% (we have a GREAT rate right now) - we just can't afford it.

So - we're going to take out a second and make a leap of faith! We've been praying about it - so hopefully there will be a way somehow! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

I was wondering how things went with the other contractors. That's great news, Bek! Very exciting. :) Good luck!
