Closing date has been set!

Greetings friends, Yesterday we got the news our closing will take place on Feb 29, 2016. We said we were hoping to close in Feb. and it's happening! So now we slip into high gear, make our battle plan, and start packing boxes. We are so excited about renovating our new home we have lists and lists of projects. We will start with the kitchen and living room and work out from there. Looks like I will have time to get in a garden this spring which I am super excited about. My dear friend Lani sent me a lovely assortment of organic seeds and I bought some more. All I need now is the soil.

As you can see we have our work cut out for us, but the bones are there.The great room (500 square feet) is amazing with a working fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the yard. Most of our work there will be cosmetic. We are planning to do built in bookcases. The kitchen is a total reno project. Probably our first one, new cabinets, counters and appliances.Very happy we have gas cooking in place. The basement is a big project as well. That will become Jim's model cave.Our bedroom which is upstairs along with the cool green bathroom and a combo guest room /studio for me can wait.Right now , till closing, all we can do is dream.
