FEBRUARY 20, 2024 *open all the doors, and let you out into the world* haha, just kidding. But if you didn’t get that, we are not the same. We closed today! I went back to the lot, and they took the fake deer that were on there š Documents were signed and money was sent….

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 We have an accepted offer! So now, I need to work with the title company. I won’t lie, I relied heavily on Drexel’s Controller, Emily. She’s an absolute genious with legalities and numbers and all the jazz that I’m awful at. But yay! Exciting!

These are…

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 The lot on Valley View requires a minimum of 1,400 square feet for new builds, so that won’t work. Sooo I called a realtor *shoutout to Sam*, and explained what we were trying to do with this. He sent over a differentĀ lot in Campbellsport that I went and looked at. It…

Itās listed right now at $48,900 which is higher than the lot on Veterans Circle. BUT itās already developed. So all of the laterals…
