It's the middle of winter over here, and the days are chilly but sunny. We did house stuff all day on Saturday. We went through the house plans room by room, painstakingly figuring out where windows and doors would go, and got into heated discussions about where the bathroom vanity should go (under the window? or by the wall?) and how the kitchen should be configured. Again, any advice anyone has is appreciated!
On Sunday, we put house stuff aside and relaxed by hanging out in our favorite neighborhood bar. Now that we're redoing a house, everything I see reminds me of home renovations. Just walking into the bathroom turned into a recon mission: "Oooh.... I wonder where they got these vintage taps... and what kind of wood did they use on these floors? I like this mirror." Then I'd return to our table and Iain would comment on the lights above the bar and the cool wallpaper. As much as we tried not to talk about the house, all we did was talk about the house.
Of course, we aren't even close to that fun decorating stage yet. We're still meeting with builders and drafts people and being told about waste pipes and gully traps and load bearing walls.
