It was late by at least a year and those of us living in apartments had keep extending our lease (3x for me) at some additional expense. Thank goodness the quality was good. Despite these difficulties, I can not imagine living any place else Good luck on your endeavor. -Robert Heinich Eno Commons Cohousing Durham, NC http://www.enocommons.org where we just had 3" of snow and most of it gone by the end of the day
