after seven agonizing weeks of tack-sitting, patience-building, and generalized anxiety, i am much pleased to report that the seller's bank has finally accepted my offer on the farm property.
we do the home inspection tomorrow... hopefully they don't find any nasty or unmanageable surprises. fingers still crossed!
in related news, i finally got around to the part of Raintree Nursery's website where it talks about when is best to plant trees in which climate zone. looks like even if i can get the deed in-hand this month (which is unlikely), it's still too late to get trees in the ground before winter, as their root structure wouldn't have established itself sufficiently to protect them from the freeze.
which means that fall's only real outdoor projects will be staking out garden spaces, sheet mulching, and path-laying. this might also afford me some time to get going on a greenhouse, rabbit hutch, or chicken coop. then, once winter hits, i'll be stuck inside, renovating.
IF, that is, the inspection goes well tomorrow. one step at a time.
also hopefully getting a late 90's Nissan pickup tomorrow. my first truck! big day.
