Well after many months of slowly plodding along it looks like we might get a bit of action this week. The door has come in and the mason is ready to get started. He is sceduled to begin Tuesday morning. Speaking of Tuesday, we also have an appointment with the architect to get the filing plans in motion.
Funny story about the architect. I was at my dentist the other morning, and he asks "didn't you formerly work with Lisa?", she had just been in "she just took a job in California and is moving in a couple of weeks". Here's the catch the ex-coworker is the girlfriend of the architect. Immediately I think "gee that's funny Dan hasn't said anthing to me". later that day when I spoke Dan he said to me "I assume you heard the news" and all I could reply was "yes, but you never guess from where"....but I digress.
After speaking with Dan we still may need to make a few modifications to the planning the Michael and I have been honing the last few months. It could look more like this earlier sketch 
as we are not sure about how much "roof" they are going to let us have up top. I think in the same line of thinking (being able to to file more easily) we may consider taking the bath back to a half bath. I really want to pursue that one as much as possible though as it would be acceptionally nice to have a shower up there.
Finally, if all else goes well, the washer and dryer will fit into the newly crafterd basement door next Saturday when they are re-delivered... we shall see.
You know, I go to the same dentist. Maybe I can get some gossip out of him at my next visit. The plan looks really great.
