Sorry for the long delay with regards to updates to the blog. But just because there aren't posts, doesn't mean there hasn't been anything going on for the past month. A quick summary of the past events is as follows:
We quickly put together plans of the existing house and created plans for the future layout, which I included the drawings in this post for you all to see.
Also, we created a long list of work to be done as part of the renovation (which overlaps the drawings, but also contains things like new electric run throughout, new HVAC throughout, new windows throughout, etc.)
We utilized the above mentioned documents to sit with a contractor and a 3rd party consultant to price and refine the scope of work. Once that was complete, we submitted all of that to the mortgage company.
It's been mostly a waiting game since we submitted everything. They were having the appraisal completed, and the mortgage underwritten. And then Monday, we received our commitment letter. YEAH!!
So now its just time to get the final paperwork in order for our settlement, which is only 2.5 weeks away, October 18.
So it seems like we are going to be firing back up and working with the contractor over the next couple of weeks to get his construction started as soon as we can after settlement. We will be starting October 19 with removal of wall paper, exterior paint, and some other demolition prior to the contractor starting. So look forward to some great demo shots in a couple of weeks! We'll keep posting updates as we have them.
Until then enjoy the plans.
