So Dawn and I were going to go by the bank this morning, but the loan agent that Dawn spoke with last week was out of the office. So, we'll go down that road next week.
While I was in town Dawn wanted me to go by the Register of Deeds to get a plat for, well, I'm not 100% sure anymore. Maybe it's for the land loan, maybe it's for a perk test, maybe it's for something else. I'm not sure.
Confession, even though I have Building Your Own Home for Dummies, maybe I need something for children.
So anyway, I go by the Deeds office and give them the parcel information. They have no registered survey. Well, they do have a record of one from 1942, but I'm pretty sure that won't count. And since there is no recent survey there is no plat.
So... we will have to pay for a survey now. Dawn has the name of a "good surveyor" (apparently there is a shortage of good ones out there so he deserved the adjective) from her uncle. Dawn called him and he will work up a quote. That translates to "this won't be cheap".
