Would own my house today, except I wrote 2008 instead of 2007 on a $3,140.00 check, so that has pushed things back a day or so.
At any rate, we met up with the guy we’re going to have do the renovations at our house. He had pretty good design for modifying the kitchen and downstairs. I would prefer a bigger workshop down there, but the guest room and kitchen trumps that to some degree. He nicely designed a new master bathroom/bedroom. We’re finalizing the wall lines first, then will bother with the finer details.
The price is about what I expected. The timing is longer than I’d hoped: 1-2 months to get government planning approval and then 4-6 months after that to have all the renovations completed. That puts us right at Apr08 for completion. Thankfully our lease runs till April, so we should be ok. Had been hoping to move more like December or January, but it seems infeasible.
I’ll try to get the plans scanned and uploaded here, but they’re on strange-size paper which will require scanning and stitching, and I don’t have the time for that right now.

have you heard about induction burners? they only heat where the pan is so you could hest a pan and have a pound of butter next it and the butter won’t melt. it can boil about an inch of water in 8 seconds. might be nice for your kitchen.
Yeah. I want a full sweet of burners, including gas (high btu) and induction. Also want to get an infrared grill for searing.
I’ve spent ten years living in houses with wheezy, asthmatic burners and I am sick of it.
REmodleing always takes longer than they say because you always run into unexpected problems. The good thing is that you don’t have to live there while it is going on. We worked for 3 years here and still are not finished. lol I wish you luck with that. Many a marriage has been ruined by the remodeling process. Keep that in mind when you want to kill each other. lol In the end, it is only stuff.
