Fast?
Things may start moving fast.
First, I called and harangued the surveyors AGAIN. Well, yes, blah blah blah. At this point, I just want it done. They said they should have it by the end of this week.
I feel like...I don't know. I feel like I'm already in construction hell, and we haven't done anything yet.
But! I talked to our first-choice builder this morning, and, well, things are a little slow right now. So he's going to come over on Thursday afternoon and meet with us and look at our renderings and drawings and such. Frankly, I'm ready to have 'em come and start excavating as soon as the survey is done.
We've also been talking about re-doing the existing bathroom -- it has an acrylic tub enclosure thing that's just a freakin' nightmare. We'd like to rip out the enclosure, tile the walls, and put in a nice new tub. Also, we've looked at and decided on a new vanity top, to match my lovely paint job on the vanity. And since we're going white in that room, a new floor and a new toilet are also indicated.
I know THAT is going to turn into more of a job than we want. I know it. There's a leak someplace that has to be fixed, and where there's a leak, there's rot, so there's some subfloor and maybe even some wall that's going to need replacing, too.
Frankly, if he can get started on the addition now, I'm happy to wait on the bathroom. If he can get started on the bathroom while we're waiting for other stuff to fall into place, well, that would be great, too. But I get the sense that the dizzying spiral is beginning...stay tuned.
