We are getting so close to the demo phase of remodeling the house! The estate sale has been scheduled for the weekend before Thanksgiving, which is perfect because I have a whopping four days off during the break (not in a row, but still, four days!). We are going to eat, sleep and breath demo during those four days, and hopefully get enough knocked out to save some money that can later be put towards built-ins and what may be the biggest bathtub I've ever sat in (I sat in a hifalutin bathtub today btw).
The surveyor also came out today and Robert has been diligently figuring out the phases of remodeling and learning about plumbing and home automation. Because we have decided to change the existing location of the staircase we will no longer be able to live in the entire upstairs. Instead, we will have a bathroom and an additional room for everything else: kitchen, bedroom, office and living room. So we're downsizing even more and have started clearing out the room that will house our entire lives for the duration of the remodel. I'm sure I will be able to touch the refrigerator, couch, bed and Robert's computers all at the same time.
It's going to be a little bleeping crazy, but once the place is done we will be living in a castle. Or the American craftsman equivalent of a castle.
When Robert and I weren't testing bathtubs and faucets and packing up the last few books that survived the first downsizing over the weekend, we did find a little time to sneak to the dog park.
Wow! You need to take pictures of every phase your home goes through until completion. That way you will be showing it's soul and heart. Fun Times ahead!!!!!!
