Moving along...

May 30, 2011
We met with our contractor this past Friday and finalized a few more decisions, primarily indoor trim and inside doors.  We did a walk-through of the house focusing on the lay-out of the kitchen upstairs and down, as well as a couple of vents that need to be moved.  The best news of the day happened just before we were getting ready to leave.  I made the comment that the only thing I would change about our plans so far is the fact that we only designed one bathroom in the basement for retreat guests. Casey said, "I'm pretty sure we can turn this area into a bathroom with a shower."  I almost hugged him!  It was a huge storage closet that wasn't really needed and is close to the guest bedrooms.  If the plumber is able to pull it off it will give us a men's and a women's restroom in the retreat area allowing us to handle a more diverse crowd of people.  I'm so excited!  About three more weeks will be needed to finish plumbing, heating/cooling, and electrical, and then they will be ready to drywall.  Brick will start going up in about 4 weeks!   Sometime soon I need to make decisions on plumbing fixtures,electrical fixtures, and paint colors!
