I know from following other bloggers that building a home takes a great deal of patience. I haven't posted in a couple of months and really have very little to report. We did finalize our plans with our architect. He sent the plans as a PDF and we had them printed for next to nothing at a local print shop. We have three sets out with builders who are in the process of giving us bids.
Just yesterday we received one bid back. It came in around $360,000. A little more than we were hoping for, but I guess that's always the case, isn't it? The bid was itemized by category, but I'd like to know from whom the bids came. I feel like I need to be using some of my time off from work meeting with cabinet and floor people. I want to make sure that as the other bids come in, we're comparing apples to apples.
We do have a trip planned to Atlanta next week, and I'm really looking forward to checking out the IKEA, Pottery Barn, and Restoration Hardware outlets there. I love their fixtures but could never bring myself to paying full price or even catalogue sale price.
Hoping for more progress in the coming weeks!
