hovering in a holding pattern

Right now, the plans are in to the city for permits, and the contractor is working with them to iron everything out. (We do NOT need 192ft of sidewalk to nowhere, at our expense, thank you very much)

We have continued our on our "list of things we need to get before we need them", though. This week, we bought a doggie door. It'll need to be installed in the exterior door before the door is put up. Also arriving, an in-wall ironing board. My sister has one that my great grandpa built and I've ALWAYS thought it was cool. We need to have it though before they frame so they can make a spot for it and plan for the electrical. We also got a heated towel bar for the master bath, and a great bargain on a 13pc comforter set for the guest room. Yes, things are getting a bit crowded in here.

On sunday, we unloaded the new tub. The dang thing weighs about 500lbs, so we had to get the neighbor to help us. The cool thing.....on the bottom it's stamped with the manufacture date, Oct. 7, 1925. That tub has seen a lot of butts!






















This week, we're anticipating the arrival of the tank for the rainwater collection, going to purchase a really cool fountain for the front entry (and a couple of benches), hopefully working on the kitchen plan some, and possibly having a meeting with the contractors to go over the timeline.
Good times!
