Dear Friends,
Merry Christmas to you from wintry Estonia! For some of you it has been quite a while since your last Edminster Update. Those with whom we were able to visit in March got to see the kids and hear our latest news in person. Others are reading our monthly “Corkboard” updates either on Edminsters.com or by email subscription. But I imagine if you are not in one of these two groups you might feel a little in the dark. So let us fill you in on what’s been happening. Continue reading
Our renovation project is currently on hold. We had really hoped to be moved in by Christmas. But when we applied for the remainder of the sum we had planned for the entire project, the bank started tightening the screws. Apparently our former loan officer changed offices and was replaced by a junior officer recruited for a quick fill. She’s been a little over-conscientious and appears to be wanting to review every jot and tittle of our contract.
The apartment is effectively ready for residence save for a few critical projects that require this last burst of capital: stairs, kitchen installation and plumbing hookups. Without any one of these, we’re dead in the water. Please pray that our request will make it through the banks’ mechanisms smoothly and quickly so that we can finish up these last few projects and move in before the vacation ends!
I apologize that our site has been down for the last week or so. We had some suspicious over-activity on one of the files and our service provider temporarily blocked the site.
I was able to make some changes to get things stabilized but I’m going bare bones on design until the New Year. This will give me time to get everything back in order and any weaknesses addressed (if there are any!).
If anyone out there wants to contribute dedicated server space, let me know!
