Signed the Contract!

09/26/2010 This morning begins our journey. We signed the contract and handed over a check for the initial purchases. Ed will be back this week to measure and order the windows and take some measurements. We have decided to go with wooden windows to preserve the look of our house that was built in 1800. With painting, windows should last 200 years - well past our stay!

Living Room after demolition
The renovation continues and it is starting to take shape.  Three contracts later, we seem to have a final plan.  Only snag is that the house is too close to the road (like we built it, haha) and it doesn't fit with the town zoning code so building of the addiction over the garage can't start until variance is approved.  Let's keep our fingers crossed on that one!  Anyways, the dining room is almost done with plaster and trim around the windows.  Need to paint walls and molding.  Jerry and I moved the office this weekend and except for painting, that is pretty good.  He is seeing clients in the new office as we speak.  Next order of business is the new living room which will be great.  New staircase in and maybe treads will be put down this week.
