Meet the banker

This fine gentleman is Drew Hicken from Celtic Bank:

(Hi Drew — I promised you'd be on the blog!)

Drew has been a great advocate for us in our successful efforts to get financing. He's been responsive, helpful, and friendly — just the sort of person you want working for the bank that's funding your home. He helped finance the Lucy Avenue house (of Grassroots Modern blogging fame) and has built a nice residential niche in working with modern home owners and builders. (Plus, his hair is longer than Tai's, which bolsters Tai's argument that you CAN be a businessman with long hair.)

Thanks for all the hard work to this point, Drew, and here's a promise for that cost breakdown ASAP.
