Thanks to all who crossed fingers and toes, etc for us. Our offer on the acreage was accepted, the offer was subject to financing. Now we just have to get all the appraisals and other paper work together for the bank, and hopefully we will be set to go. Then of course we will have to sell the house we are in and... and... and... I have already laid claim to the loft area of the house for sewing/quilting. It will be great as I won't have to put stuff away when someone comes to visit. With luck we will find spots for everything else so that I won't have to share my space with storage. We hope that by the end of summer we will have a new shop built for DH and that it will be large enough to hold our store and maybe an exercise room. Thanks again for all your help.
