.352

What is that number you ask?  That is the size (in acres) of the lot where the new Chalupa house will be built (otherwise known as 15,354 square feet).  Today the developer and I came to a verbal agreement for the cost of the lot.  With any luck we will break ground by the end of May.  We have our plans for the house mostly figured out, but you all will have to wait for another day for me to post those. 

We have some work to finish up on our current house before it goes on the market.  I have been replacing some bad pieces of siding which I hope to finish up this weekend.  If it stops raining long enough I have a painter lined up to come repaint the outside of the house.  Kelly is finishing up some painting on the inside this week.  Hopefully this house will have a for-sale sign later this month.  I have to say I wish I didn't procrastinate so long on some of the repairs.  When I think back to how this house looked when we bought it, it has come a long way.  Quite a bit of that has just been over the last couple of months.
