Well, what a difference a day makes. Last night my daughter contacted me and asked me to pray about something. She said that once I had told her that my realtor was interested in building me a house on one of his lots, she had the thought about having my house built on her property as a type of Granny Pod only bigger. Her husband died 15 years ago when their son was just a year old and she had a different country property. I had wanted to do this back then but she was young (28) and wasn't interested in it. Now that her father has passed recently, and her son is 16, soon to be going to college, we would both be alone, so why not? So, this morning I contacted her township zoning manager who said it is a very real possibility. I know different locations have different zoning laws concerning adding a separate dwelling on a property. We would also need to know where her septic tank and well are located before even attempting to figure out if there is space for this project. I also contacted the realtor to see if he would still be interested in doing this build. I am waiting to hear back from him. The loan process is just beginning on this new loan application, so there is time to still pray on this and make decisions. My daughter and I don't always have the best relationship. But, as she said, we would be close enough, but separate enough to not get on each other's nerves. It was not mentioned, but that most of my other grandchildren spent the Easter weekend with her but none of them got to come see me, this could mean that I would get to see most of my other grandchildren whenever they come to visit her. But I have lived with family before, and I know that combining two families together does not always work out. But in those instances, everyone was in one house. This would be two houses on the same land. She even mentioned changing the deed to put both of our names on it. What do you think?
