So I haven't talked much about our kitchen project recently because … well … (Mutters under breath, shakes head, takes a drink.)<\/p>\n

But, today, progress! \u00a0Our architect came over and did\u00a0detailed measurements of the existing so that he can start doing as-builts and, from those, the actual design plans.<\/p>\n

Jim, my father-in-law — who did detailed sketches and design work for what we have to date — is in town this week, which was fortuitous timing.<\/p>\n

To date, we do have the initial structural drawings from the professional engineer. We've also determined that we don't need to get any HOA approval because …<\/p>\n

… well, our local HOA has decided it's not really an HOA and has no enforcement authority over the CC&Rs, but is only an voluntary advisory board. Which … I hope means our neighbors don't paint their house Broncos colors next door, but anyway …<\/p>\n

So there we are. The next step, once we have the drawings, is to get estimates. We have a contractor we've done work with — we'll see what they come up with for an actual estimate, as well as their time availability. We also have another contractor lead so we can have some options.<\/p>\n

In some parallel and possibly more ideal world than this, we would have been actually under construction at the moment. \u00a0That's disappointing … but today, at least, we made progress. (Smiles, nods head, makes everyone a drink.)\ufeff<\/p><\/div>\n
