Paul and I made a decision -- we're going to add on to our house. Of course, this all depends on financing coming through, but we're going to go for it! We're very happy that we will contribute to this lagging economy and give many construction workers work in these difficult times. We're even more happy that we will have more space for our family!!!
We'll be adding on 1,160 s/f, and I can't wait. The basement won't be finished as of yet ... but when it is the house will have one more bedroom, two new family rooms and a MUCH larger kitchen. I am excited about the kitchen part. When we were considering selling and buying a new place, I looked at one house with 3,500 s/f and a kitchen the size of mine. What's the point of that?!?
Anyway, I am not looking forward to the larger payment and have stressed about that. However, we feel it is right and will be a benefit to many more people than just ourselves. So, we're working out the mortgage, we have the blue prints being drawn up, and we're getting bids to get our sprinklers out of the addition's way. Who knew there were so many decisions to be made, and we're not even started yet!
Anyway, sorry to all my neighbors for the noise we'll create, but hopefully the extra space will help us be less cluttered and therefore a little more clean. That remains to be seen, I suppose ...

how exciting! Will it be done in time for the reunion. That would be awesome to be able to see it then. :)
Yeah, my dad talks about Grandpa all the time. I'm not sure what kind of condition it is, but my pulmonologist said he was eager to talk about it. So, in June ill know more, and maybe the surgeon will talk about it. I'll keep you posted. I'm glad though I finally have some answers. It explains why my heart has been freaking out randomly, and maybe even why i've had night sweats since my junior year in high school. It gets so bad I have to change my pjs 2-3 times a night. Well, I love you guys. I'm happy to hear your adding onto your house!! :) I love changing things. Even though I dont have my own place yet, just re-arranging my room is always fun. :) Love ya!! ~Jamie~
So exciting! Can't wait to see pictures!
You're ADDING 1160 square feet? That's almost double the footage of our entire apartment!
