Progress

Well we have progressed through all but the appraisal. Though we don't expect problems, we are not in charge. We are scheduled to close June 18th.
There were termite issues in the woodpile stacked up to the shed that caused the termite ok inspection to fail but none elsewhere. The seller is paying for that remedy.

There were some foundation and grading issues causing them plus some fairly minor issues in the house. We ended up reducing the price $3,000 from 155,000 which they begrudgingly accepted. Now if we can get through the appraisal!
We are praying.

In the process

May 25

Well friends, we lost the home in Rogersville because it didn't appraise. missed it by 18,000 dollars.
we have found another 1 however in speedwell tennessee. this 1 is 10 acres it has approximately half that is wooded however. there is quite a bit in front where we will plant lavender. eventually we will clear trees. will make a space for the apiary in the trees just thin it out to get them more sun.We are hoping to close mid June.
Re the bees: the split ended up having to be combined with one of the other new hives. Did that this week. Will check on them later this weekend. All of the other hives are doing great. We should get 2-3 more supers of honey from #1. The newest super we put on was for cut comb. Sure hoping it gets finished.
Honey sales have been going well. We are down to only 1lb jars. Thanks to all our supporters.
Need to take off at least 1 super, probably 2 before we move them.
Later
