TV Design shows always make the planning of renovations and meeting with arc hitects and designers look really exciting and interesting...
Today we met with our builder again and went over the plans...again....and talked numbers...again....
and talked dates...again. We also ran into a kitchen counter store to have a look at samples of different colours and edges and materials....
And it's all stressful and tiring and....boring! I feel like its constant window shopping which isn't my kind of fun.....and Lloyd and the builder get into discussing measurements of beams and walls and windows and all that.....
I just want to pick out cabinets and flooring and get it DONE already....I just don't want all the hassle in between....and now we are looking at timescales and I will not have a finished kitchen for Christmas - thats almost definite.....even if the kitchen cabinets are in, the counters will not be ready....and the grading and patio and all the outside 'stuff' won't be done until next year....
And then we discussed doing the addition over the garage first and then the kitchen next year.....because the master bedroom/ bathroom and the bathroom renos and laundry room etc won't have quite as much of an impact on Christmas compared to a house with no kitchen and all the work taking place downstairs....
So who knows....and my head hurts.
It will all be worth it in the long run - or so everyone keeps telling me.....
