With Permission

Work starts tomorrow!
Giant dumpster is in the driveway.
Permit is somewhere - they said Monday. Do we have to go get it, or do they come slap it on the front door.
David’s office and mud-room are first on the schedule. We really, really, seriously need to get the garage cleared out today.

Now We’re Talkin’

Nothing says we really mean it now like a table full of paint chips.

Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago

Or Kentucky, for that matter.
For less than the price of our remodel, we could have a house two or three times the size of ours, all sparkly brand new, with a pool and lots and lots of land. In Kentucky. Or North Carolina. Or a whole other host of places outside of New York.
We were […]

Decisions are Good

I made close to two today! My arm was twisted on the first one, as the kitchen designer refused to send me anymore drawings until I gave her the refrigerator dimensions. So, I marched over to Expo Design on the way home from work, stood in the center of the appliance gallery, closed my eyes, […]


And the Number IS….

At least two times higher than our budget!
Windows….eh, who needs ‘em?
I’m sort of surprised, and I’m sort of not. On the one hand, the price for the remodel is well above the price of an average house pretty much anywhere else in the country. In fact, we could probably buy a very nice, very large […]

Back on Track

A couple of weeks ago we had the Big Meeting with the architect, the designer and the GC. It went really well, as we suspected and we had confirmation that we’re all on the same page and in the same camp.
The GC was here […]

Down Around Us

There’s been heavy rain since last night. This morning, David pointed out a chunk of wet, peeling paint on the ceiling, next to the skylight. And, as I was sitting here in the dining room, putting some money back into the rapidly decreasing line of credit, I heard a dripping noise that was very clearly […]

Pictures

Look out — I just figured out how to get pictures up here. I know, I know — David’s the geek, not me.
I can’t, however, convert my PDF kitchen layout to a JPEG, so that will have to wait. But, look! Backhoes! Piles of Dirt! It’s official! No, we haven’t started construction, but the new […]

Decision!

I’ve been busy spending every waking moment here. These people are CRAZY. Obsessed! I love them. There’s a whole forum dedicated to wiring.
It was there that our decision to go with Henrybuilt cabinets was born. I’d seen the name, come across a photo or two, but the passion with which every single person on […]
