Used to be a band I listened to in high school. Ha! Now it's what we'll say tomorrow morning, after Phil gets his "morning stuff done" at work. Bags and ice chests packed, cabin rented, appointments with builders lined up. For real this time.
Last fall we went out and met w/ builders, but it was a failed mission. The reason: we didn't really know what we were asking for. There was quite a bit on our wish list that caused the resulting estimate to shock us--badly! But with some research, and revisiting certain particulars, I think we will get a much more do-able estimate. I mean--WE plan to do ALL the trim, cabinets, paint, fixtures, flooring, and build the decks ourselves.
At any rate, I'm ready to go play in the woods and see what that little acre looks like in July. They say it rains in the afternoons in the summer, just little rains. I can't wait.
Hope your summer is going well!
P.S. Sis & Brother in Law will be cat & house sitting so they can come up out of the frying pan (also known as Phoenix) and enjoy the cooler weather up here for a change.
I guess it's all a matter of perspective, isn't it? To me, getting to the trees is the vacation, to them, getting out of 117 degrees is the treat!
Have a wonderful time and safe travels! I really hope everything works out for you this trip. :o)
ReplyDeleteHope you have successful meeting with the builders! Have a great time in the woods!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news. So glad you are going to do something you want to do and have been looking forward to for a long time. Your new home site sounds perfect. Peace and quiet and lots of trees are always a blessing in many ways. Wishing you the very best with your meeting with the builders. It is also wonderful to have some one take care of your pets. It is also nice to do lots of the work yourselves. I always enjoyed working on the house. Very exciting. Martha
