We reviewed our preliminary house plans today. Unfortunately, I'm not able to show them to you, but I love them. I love the layout. I love the openness. I love the size. But (there's always a but right) it's a little more square footage than we had originally planned. How is it that a few extra feet here and there turns into an extra 300 sq. ft? Of course this means it's coming in a teensy bit over budget. Nothing like busting the budget right at the beginning.
Anyway, we are waiting on the builder to crunch the numbers and see how bad the damage really is. Bleh. And then the games begin. The process of give and take to make sure we keep it in (or at least close to) budget. Patrick and I both have strong opinions of what we think should be in the house. To be honest, we don't agree 100% on everything. I know shocking. I tend to forget that not everyone is five feet tall. I could happily and easily live in a house built for little people. Sad? Yes, but extremely true. Of course, neither of us wants to budge on our "needs" so I'm sure their will be some "discussions". But we'll come out of this alive . . . at least I hope we do. ;)
Just another day in paradise . . .
