After our two initial posts, we seem to be getting the
same four questions...:
1. Is the floor plan exact?
-- Not entirely.
The left side of the house is going to be stretched two feet to give a
little more room to the master, bedroom, bath, and closet. The tub in the master bath is going to be
taken out and replaced with a bigger shower.
The back patio is going to be covered and screened in. Finally instead of the closet in the laundry
room, we're going to have a utility sink.
2. What about the picture of the house?
-- That's not exactly right either. The covenants of the neighborhood require all
brick and stone. The back and two sides
will be all brick, while the front will be a mixture of brick and stacked stone.
3. What's next?
-- We have an appointment on Friday, January 6, to meet with
a designer to make our first round of choices on things like brick color,
shutter color, trim features, electrical layout, etc. Once the first meeting happens, we go back in
a second week to start picking out things like cabinet colors, wall paint, floor
and carpet types, etc
4. When will it be ready?
-- Right now, the target is the week of Memorial Day (May 29, 2012). The weather will affect that date a lot. We'll know something a little more concrete around May 1, but right now, that is our target.
So, clear your calendars for Memorial Day weekend. We may be having a pizza moving party*!!!
(*A pizza moving party is a party where we give you a slice of pizza if you help us move. It is not a party where we move pizza around from one room to another.)
