Project Update

I think we are finally getting our heads around how to approach the house project. Steve went and visited with a few of the neighbors who have done similar big house renovations .

One of the neighbors is using the contractor we like for a house a few streets away and have done a huge addition and full upgrade. The other neighbors have done upgrades on electrical/plumbing, insulation, etc. They offered us lots of free advice on getting used to the idea that it's going to take more money and time they you plan for.

We met with the contractor again yesterday and decided to take the first big step and have him draw up some plans and ideas. He is finishing up at the neighbors house over the next 6 weeks - so the idea is to have him start the plans now and then see if we are ready to start in March.

So that's what's been going on. In the meantime, my plan is to use the next 6 weeks to start consolidating our stuff that has taken over the upstairs.....
