ok. where to start. my friends lou and fred and i went out for some drinks before a movie. i decide we should all brain storm about ways to come up with money to buy this land i fell in love with. some ideas involved bank robbery, internet porn, the macarthur genius grant and i think pole dancing came up. fred finally stepped in with 'well i could buy it and you could have a mortgage with me'. silence. surely he must be kidding. we go to the movie and don't speak of it again. the next day lou calls and says 'i think fred was serious'. followed by 'i didn't want to say it at the time, but, you SHOULD'.
the rest of the summer was filled with things like perc tests. a super fantastic real estate agent named amy who was seemingly sent straight from above to help me. lawyers (hi tom). a crazy builder guy who got canned. the putting together of the 'dream team' with the help of jason my septic engineer. and finally meeting ryan (oh my god you are so young) over at the lot to talk logistics. oh, and where i am going to come up with the materials for the type of house i want, and not have to resort to any of the things mentioned in the first paragraph to pay for it.
i suppose i could go on and on about all the reasons i chose a noble home kit. but, since they have already gone to the trouble of doing it on their website... you can just read what they wrote. http://www.noble-home.net/ i found out about them on treehugger.com (i know, i know)
i had originally thought i was the first guinea pig to order one, turns out i am the second. and lucky for me, the first ones started a blog of their own about the process. they are a few weeks ahead of me. http://brengelmannoblehome.blogspot.com/
