The Lot

Carlisle is a small town in central Pennsylvania.  When we first moved here we lived about five miles out of town and found that we were driving into town once or twice everyday.  At some point, we decided that it made sense for us to move into town.

We closed!

We've been planning an energy efficient, passive solar house for about two years now, and last Friday, November 20, 2009, we closed on the mortgage/construction loan.  I can't believe I'm so excited to go into debt like this.  But hey, our construction loan rolls into a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 4.5% and I can't very well complain about that.
