Meeting set

So we went to Maine this weekend to drop Brittany off to Whale Camp, and hoped that while we were away, our house would be shown at least a couple of times. But it wasn't. No biggie, but it is nice to know it is being seen. Adam had not heard feedback yet from the other realtors who has shown the house, so we have no new information about that. The one who showed it on Friday apparently had not contacted him first, and we threw away the card they left behind on the counter, so we don't know who that was at all.

We have a meeting with Tom tomorrow in his office, to go over the plans and the cost. That will be a pivotal meeting.

We showed Karen's brother Rick the plans, and from what I could tell (I arrived late), he liked them but had several comments. He especially didn't like how the doors were designated. He thought most should be 3' doors, but many of the interior doors are 2'8" or 2'4". We worried about that until we got home and measured the doors we have now. We only have one 3' door, and most of the rest are 2'8", with a few 2'4". So we'll ask Tom about that, but I think they're OK the way they are. Our only real concern is handicap accessibility on the first floor bathroom. We may want to make some changes to ensure that room is accessible, but we'll have to see what has to be done to do that. One of the other rooms (office or guest bedroom) will have to be made smaller to make the bathroom bigger and still keep the same footprint.

At the site, the house next door now has a roof, so most of it is protected from weather (though the roof cap was no on yet, so rain could still get in). They probably finished the roof today. Across the way Adam's house in in progress (yes, in case I haven't mentioned it before, our Realtor will have a house in Raven Circle, too, as will his brother) - they have levelling the ground and last we spoke he expetected the foundation would be poured this week. All this activity is good - because when we put our "real" money down, we want work to start right away.
