getting closer...
We got a call with two questions today....
Q: Are you SURE you want that door in the walk out bay? Do you realize you will have to have a foundation under it? Is that what you want?
A: oh... a foundation under it? Let's try putting the door on the side and see what happens.
Q: I don't quite follow where you are adding square footage.
A: oh... was it that unclear? might have something to do with us going over it 9000 times and changing our minds 90000 times.
Nevertheless, we are moving forward, and getting closer to having some kind of a blueprint.

moving forward
I wish I could blame SOMEONE ELSE that we have done NOTHING on this house stuff for three months. But, truth be told, it's all ME.
But, that is OVER now and we are now officially MOVING FORWARD!!!!
We sent in our house order --- made all our changes and drew all our specs --- and we are now waiting waiting waiting for blueprints. It has officially been two weeks now. But, word is that they are working on it this week. My best guess is that it sat on the "to do" pile while the engineers debated and drew straws as to who was going to get this nit-picky woman's house to draw.
We officially massacred the original plan. And now we will see what happens ...
My decisions for this week include appliances! I am trying to make a decision on which ones to buy. I have quotes from three different places, and am getting one more yet.
Here is a photo of my dream double oven...... be careful, you're drooling on your mouse pad.
Oh yes.... this baby is enough to make any insane cooking loving woman go out of her mind.
Oh yes..... both ovens feature the true AeroTech Convection cooking system. I've never baked with a true-convection oven but I hear it is heavenly! There are 10 cooking modes, a 4400 watt broiler element, shelves that provide 13 shelf positions. There is 3.5 cu ft of usable space. One review I read said she felt there was so much room you could drive a truck into that baby!
The unit comes with a full 2 year warranty... and a lifetime no chip warranty.
It has blue/purple interior with halogen lights so bright that you can't help but see everything in there!
Another reviewer mentioned that she tested the interior heat range with seven thermometers spread across the interior vertically and horizontally and all showed the same temperature plus or minus only a few degrees!
This thing has minimal heat seepage. The exterior is stainless steel or iridium. I have a friend who might know what that is exactly, but to me, it just means it will hold a lot of heat!
The price on this thing --- well, let's just say it equals the value -- and leave it at that. Maybe I could go without a roof so I can have this oven????
