$250,132

The amount we will spend on our remodel IF we can now stay on budget...
NOW how's that!!! I suppose I should also clarify. our projected budget was 250k.

using the contractor we were looking at 285k.

feels good to be back on track...

This would include a driveway... doors & hardware :) ... and drum roll please... some sort of flooring in the master bedroom... It will also include exterior paint... and the paint for but not the labor... for the interior...

we'll take it room by room for a year or so... :) and use no VOC paints...
at least that's the thought....

and BIG progress! windows & doors

changes.

We let our contractor/ gm go today...

the budget JUST doesn't allow for the quality that we want AND to pay someone 30% to manage the project... 

so... here we go... o my... it WILL be a busy busy month for me... 

hopefully we can finish the project within two months... 

pray for me... if you think about it... for peace and wisdom... lots of both please... :)

Week 20: 12/15

our old roof came off... and was papered... 

which is suppose to make it "Water tight" ... 

I am skeptical to say the least...

Picked a Roof.  

Malarky

Highlander CS

These are shingle samples... so we could decide which color we wanted... 

I honestly can't remember which we chose.
