Planning Board Meeting

Taylor and I were scheduled to attend the Planning Board Meeting this past Wednesday. I was so nervous, just from hearing all the horror stories of what can happen at a planning board meeting. Anyway, we had to submit our plans for architectural review; which means we had to submit the exterior layout of the house and shingle/siding samples. Basically, the board wants to make sure that we are not painting the house hot pink!
Things went well and the meeting and we were in and out in a matter of 15 minutes. We have to go back later this month so that people from the community can attend and tell us how much they don't like the look of the house! I'm not anticipating anything, as it is pretty much and Adirondack-style vacation home look and the brown siding is going to meld right into the hillside.

In other news, Taylor and I were struggling to get our piece of property sub-divided from Commercial/Residential to Commercial & Residential. I guess we got the papers signed the other day, because now we are able to be sub-divided for the bank which makes me feel a whole lot better. Before, we were going to have our home and business under one mortgage; so if the business went sour, we would lose our home. Now that won't happen and I can breathe just a little more!
