Last of the quotes are in.

Not too much to report, I haven't done much work this week.  I did get a picture of the latches though.  I think they will be strong enough to keep it closed while bouncing down the road (memories of Pennsylvania spring to mind) but they are rated for 330lbs hold strength.  I doubt that they would even come close to that, but with one on each side they should be enough.  

The only other news is that I have all the quotes now.  The quote for the site work came in lower than I expected, only about $18k.  That brings the total to $153,165.  The house is $129,665, the electrical and plumbing is $5,500, and the $18k for the site work.  I will start visiting banks this week, and get the ball rolling.

The last quote was the only remaining task for the contractor task.  I have the building permit filled out, and will be dropping it off tomorrow.  I also intend to go visit FineLine homes on Friday to get on the schedule.
