Plan, Plan, Plan!

Because we have not been able to work on the house the last couple of weeks because of travel, I have taken advantage of the time to plan, and get some things for the house figured out.

We have picked out our kitchen cabinets and granite.  I am very excited about this.  The cabinets are a medium to dark wood, and the granite will be a lighter color. 

We have also bought our kitchen sink.  This was very challenging because we wanted an apron sink, but they are hard to find and very expensive.  Thankfully, we found one at Ikea that was very reasonably priced, and beautiful. 

Mitchell is working on getting quotes for the roof, so hopefully we can get it on there soon!  After that we can get new windows!  How exciting!

It seems that our new home away from home is now Home Depot.  We spend so much time there in the evenings.  I never thought I would like those kind of places, but it is now my favorite store!  We are officially grown ups now!

Slowly but Surely

We have not posted in a little while, because there is not a lot of progress to talk about.  We almost have the upstairs addition and roof of the breakfast nook and utility complete.  Mitchell is getting quotes rounded up for the roof, so hopefully we can get this house enclosed!  Once that is done, we can start with electrical and plumbing.  I am exceptionally excited about this, because that means that I won't have to run to the dirty quick stop every time I have to potty. 

I am working on the floor plans for the kitchen and bathrooms.  Any suggestions on things to think about when doing this is greatly appreciated!  Just post a comment below!
