-- Your Burning Questions Answered


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.)
