Um, so it's June. JUNE! Annnnnnnnnnddddddd we're still designin'. That's how we roll. You know how everyone smiles smugly when you say you're building a house and tells you that it is gonna take much, much longer than you think it will, and cost a bunch more too? Turns out that first part is true. As for the second? We'll keep you posted...
So what are we doing in all this slow-moving spare time. Research. Reseach research research. Visited the Home Ideas Centre and got exactly zero ideas. Did feel overwhelmed at the number of options of kitchen sinks tho. Who knew? Got a bunch of catalogues, or should I say, an entire giant box full of catalogues. With no prices. Awesome. Got some bamboo flooring samples. I likey!
Forcing all our friends who have ever built to give us detailed descriptions of every product they installed and how much it costs and whether they recommend it for our house. Forcing everyone we meet to vote on theoretical rooflines (Gabled or flat? What about monopitch? Eaves or no? Metal or butynol? What about in-ceiling storage? What about if the kids (or mainly just Nico) climbed on the roof? What about the harsh Wairarapa sun?). There is no end to the things that can fill your mind when you are thinking about building. And that's where we're at, THINKING about building.
At least dreams are free, right?
