We've scheduled movers! Very exciting. During their estimation process, they asked if it was a new driveway. We said: yes, it was. They asked how long it was. We said: I dunno, pretty long. Turns out that they will not park a fully-loaded moving van on a new driveway because the weight of the truck will crack it. They said it takes a year before the concrete will be cured enough to handle a truck. Mmk, I'm not gonna be the guy carrying the dressers however many tens of yards it is from the road to the house!

We're now onto converting our building loan to a traditional mortgage. This means another round of "Send Us All Your Financial Info" for us, even though we're dealing with the same people who did our construction loan, and so went through the same process with us back in March. Oh well. We got a fantastic interest rate! If things turn out right, after we sell our current house and apply the profit to the new mortgage, we should be paying less per month for this new house than we're paying now. This doesn't count the cost of the land, for which we paid cash. But, that's ok. Monthly payments hurt more than lump sums from savings.
