Construction Daily

Got a call today from the settlement company about escrow funds on the mortgage. Essentially they need me to call Homecomings Financial to put a freeze on escrow funds so that the mortgage company doesn't pay taxes, because the settlement company takes care of that at closing and it is a BIG hassle to get the double taxes refunded from the county. Made the call and got it sorted out.

Got a message from Ron Hawes that we are still shooting for May 22 to begin demolition, although there may be a snag with the demolition permit since the county wants the old septic tank abandoned (filled with lime, crushed and buried) before issuing the permit. Since Ron has such a long history with the county he is hoping to be able to abandon the septic at the same time they tear down the house, but if the county won't let it proceed that way Ron will have to come out and just bury the septic, photograph and document the task, submit to the county, then await the demolition permit before beginning the demo. Good grief...
