So actually some exciting news on the Kitchen Expansion / Remodel: things may actually be about to happen.
We've been finalizing the scope of work and contract for weeks now, but that finally seems ready and the plan is to sign on the dotted line on Thursday (eep!). That same day, the Contractor will be scoping out the first thing that needs to be done — properly capping off the sprinkler system in the area to be excavated (since it's going to go right through all the feed lines to the side and front of the house).
Good thing we had the sprinklers blown out yesterday.
Actually beginning that, and other excavation work … starts Monday.
Woot! Also, again, eep!
We're about to drop a substantial sum of money to redo and expand the kitchen (and the basement beneath), but when all is said and done, it will be a very, very cool thing. The project is currently scheduled to go out into February. We'll see how that looks when we get there …
You'll be taking lots of pics, I'm assuming, so I look forward to seeing them.
Absotively. I plan on picking some fixed points around the exterior and the interior to show change over time.
Yes, want to see! How exciting and what a good excuse not to host Thanksgiving or Xmas dinner
Heh. Well, the interior stuff won't be in play yet at Thanksgiving, so that's not going to be an issue. We never do Christmas at home. But it may mean delaying or canceling our Twelfth Night party in January.
