APRIL 22, 2024 THIS IS SO COOL. If you’re building a house and are not doing virtual design, WHY NOT?! For real, coming from someone who screws up a lot, you are making a mistake. A few posts back, I shared my virtual design consult. Basically the team gets inside my head, takes the house…

APRIL 2, 2024 Here are my updated plans. We made one small change with the island, but otherwise I will have the finalized bid plan by Friday. Then next week, John is sending everything out for bids. This plan doesn’t show it, but we’re moving the fridge/ countertop in about 2′ so there’s more living…
