Next Steps

We present our plan to the zoning board of appeals later this week. Assuming we get the nod that all is well, we being hashing out the contract with our builder and will make a massive deposit.

Right now, we have a start date of April 15 in mind. It's a few months away but it's going to fly.

These are the most recent exterior rendering and interior layout. The outside is still a little rough but the landscaping offers a better idea of what the house will look like when it's done. If you haven't been to our house, there really is a huge tree in the front yard.
There are just a few tweaks I want to make to the interior, otherwise, it's finalized.

Updated Plans

Here are updated plans. The fridge and wall oven will be switched and the bathrooms will probably be rearranged but for the most part this plan is final. Of course, that's assuming that the town doesn't have any issues and all goes well on the financing end.

I also just realized that there will be ample room to prominently display the Christmas tree in the front window of the living room.
