Wins and Losses

Colour selection run and done - so that is positive - also had some setbacks today.

We cannot flip the house the way we want due to building envelope which I didn't know existed until today - Carlisle said they should have checked and known this earlier - this is disappointing as we won't see as much of the northern sun now, however we are going to press forward.

Also found that we cannot do an under mount sink due to our cabinet depth :(

The wall movement upstairs (straighten the wall along bedrooms 2& 3) can be done just a couple of roof trusses to be upgraded $250. We wanted to do this as we are going to have a desk / bookshelf built in along that wall.

To open the he wall between the family and the rumpus requires 900mm of wall either side to remain giving us an opening of 2340mm and a steel beam running over in a bulkhead to support the weight of upstairs as this is a main load bearing/support wal . This has a cost of $1,750 to do - we are going to go ahead with both options.

Here are some of the photos the good wife sent me during the Spectra Appointment today
