DECISIONS, DECISIONS!

Home again, home again, jiggedy jog!


I stopped on the way home to meet with Duncan the Builder.  We had lots of decisions to make.   I'm out so much all the time this month that I need to make decisions when I'm back in Nelson County regarding the renovation of the Crappy Little House.


Ordered my wonderful bathtub today.  It's going to be spectacular.  I'm cutting corners with my budget every way I possibly can so that I can get the non-negotiables.  One of them being my wonderful bathtub.  It will be shipped on Dec. 19th, so I'll send pictures once it's installed.


To Lowes to order the kitchen cabinets and choose flooring and countertops.  I've gone in many different directions on all of these items.  But I knew that I would know the right combination when I saw it.   And with the help of Amanda the Kitchen Planner at Lowes, I found the combination today.  Not at all what I expected to choose.  But I'm happy with the decisions.   Cabinets ordered.  Pending the approval of Duncan the Builder I will have a laminate floor ( I know, I'm surprised too) and vinyl in the laundry room and bathrooms.  Acryllic countertops.   I won't go into all my rationale.  But I have samples of it all here at the house and I'm thrilled with the look.


Screen porch roof up.  The porch is HUGE!   Much bigger than I anticipated.  At least as big or bigger than the once I had on the house I just sold.  Plumbing is roughed in.  Electric comes next.  Progress, progress, progress.  I won't be homeless too much longer!


Last night's birthday celebration with Chad was wonderful.  A rollicking good time was had by all.  What a treasure to spend time in the company of both my boys.  Also had a good time with Sara and Murray (my grand dog).   Life is exceedingly good.
