We made the offer this morning. The waiting game begins. I know I was nervous about these changes previously, but all I feel is excitement now! I’m hoping they accept this first offer, but I still have a bit of room to negotiate.

We found out that while we need a Health Department inspection, we don’t need the septic system actually installed yet since we won’t be living there for a while. We’re going to drywall and put in wood floors first. I know that might sound like a lot for a mobile home, but we want it to have a certain feel (read: no synthetic wall-to-wall carpeting and panel walls). Scott, and myself to a lesser extent, will be doing the work.

I did ask the Health Dept about composting toilets and alternative greywater systems. He seemed at least knowledgeable about all of it, and even open to the right arrangements. I was very pleasantly surprised about that. We’re not ready to present a plan at this point, but good to know for future reference.

Adding, it's the end of the day and no call back. Frustrating! I hate waiting and now I'll have to wait until at least Monday. ARGH!
