Today is Sunday, and the weather is more seasonable. It has rained light but steady all day, with temperatures in the mid-40's. Loralee made a run to NH, and hit Lowes and Home Depot on the way to price out bathroom fixtures and tile. We're not especially fond of the big-box stores, but they can save time. I just got off the phone with her, and she managed to find several nice fixtures (Bath sinks, toilets, and tub), all well within our budget. Also, she found some nice tile for the mudroom. Since she is a teacher with the summer off, she is planning to do all the tiling in the house-- Since most tilers in this area are charging $4/sf to lay tile, this should save a lot of money.
Myself, I met with Tim today, who will be cutting the line for our power. I also had tea tea with Chuck Fergus and Nancy Brown, our future neighbors. They have been great, giving us the easement for power, and even some old brick that was in the chimney of their house before it was restored. This coming week, I'll be putting a deposit in for our Masonry Heater, but beyond that we are playing a waiting game until our excavator can get to the site to put in our driveway and dig the foundation.
