Hi Greg

Hi Mom
Did you two have a good day?

 

[GregD]

Goodnight all

Hi Mom
Did you two have a good day?

We did. He was here until about 12:30 and then hubby and I went to St. John, IN and ordered trusses, windows and all of the dimensional lumber to frame up the house. He is hoping to have shingles on by Halloween so he can start on finishing the inside.

You go Mom.
What a great project.

The kids are getting pretty excited now. I convinced my daughter to watch on FB for someone remodeling and selling all of their kitchen cabinets. There are some really sweet deals on there. If we can find a deal on a whole kitchen, any cabinets that can't be used in their kitchen, could be used in the laundry area of a pantry area in the basement.

Good thinking.

If we stay on budget, they can have us paid back and own their house free and clear in 10 years. Eliminating labor costs really knocks down the cost of the home.

Kitchens and bathrooms are the most costly part of these projects.
If I was closer I would do the HVAC for you. But man you folks are in Canada.....

We have a neighbor that hubby helps frequently. He is a union sheet metal worker...does mostly duct work on big jobs. He is going to do the HVAC and quoted us the same as we paid to do our house when we built in 1995. He will do a good job and lives four doors away from the project.

Oh...and the bathrooms won't be bad. The floor plan has ALL of the plumbing in the center of the house with the laundry in the basement right below the bathrooms. The kitchen plumbing will be on the other side of the wall from the bathroom sinks/showers. We are getting a tub/shower combo for the "kids" bathroom and a shower unit for the master bath and another for the basement. All three units will be around $1500 total. Fiberglass/one piece with no seams. The one for the basement will go in before the subfloor so it is never coming out. LOL

The upstairs ones will go in and the bathrooms will be built around them. They have picked out some inexpensive vanities that can be upgraded later if they want to.

I figured you had people. We all have to have people.

 

[mom45]

We do have people...some are very good people to know.

I do believe they will be our neighbors much sooner than originally planned, but we'll see. I told hubby I don't want him killing himself to get this done. He isn't 25 anymore...he just tries to work like he is.

Ended up getting 2 and a half hours of sleep before work. Though I don't feel tired right now.

Yeah I totally understand the work ethic.
