It's demolition time!

Went down to Coventry Town hall with my three confirmation letters (Please see previous post) and bought a demolition permit today.  The permit is good for six months.  We are on our way! 

Also, spoke to Ken at Messier and Associates (our surveyors).  Ken will have our unofficial site map with the house footprint on it tommorow.

My cousin Tom wants to see this to make sure that the house will fit on the lot the way we want it.  He wouldn't let us buy the plans, which are about 2 thousand dollars, before this "reality check".

Teri said something which really opened the way I'm looking at this process.  She said, "It might take a village to educate a child, but it's definitely going to take a family to build this house."

Jim and Peg Burnett- quitclaiming the land until a later date.
Dave Burnett (Teri's uncle)- primary builder
Tom Norman (my cousin)- architect and assist general contractor, plus labor
Rob Burkhardt, friend and softball teammate- plumber
John Slattery, friend- HVAC and duct work
Jason Burnett- tile work
Teri's cousin - electrician
And lots of friends have told us that they will pitch in with grunt work.

The enormity of the project is starting to build...
