Last week the city of Hermann Grand Poohbahs of the Water Department were out trying to locate our water shut off. They have not been able to locate it. This was the first property built on our side of the block, 80 years ago, and their maps are wrong.

it has city water and city sewer system. I told DH to be prepared for the sewer system to need replacing. Every property we have purchased in the state of Missouri has needed the sewer system replaced, old infrastructure comes with old houses.
The experience that I referred to had the architect fee tab creeping up to $50,000 on a previous project under his supervision in addition to a contractor and building costs. $3000 is of no concern.
Looking forward to seeing the photos of the progress.
