We have assignments in our ongoing quest to (greenly) remodel the house. We met today with Kurt and Tom (architects) and Cheri (builder) to go over the plans and hammer out a few things. Cheri is going to break it down a bit into phasing and give us some numbers. Then we have to go a-beggin'. Of course, we now have a remodeling due date of September 7 because that's my due date for the baby I am a-brewin'. We decided to go ahead with remodeling now because it will be easier to move one pregnant woman (no, really) than it will be to move me and a baby for the times when it's unsafe to be in the house.
Our list:
Look into materials choices: decking (upper), railings, details (exterior and interior), siding, roofing, windows
Get dimensions of desired washer and dryer
Forward energy audit reports to Cheri and Kurt

I am sure I am forgetting some things.
Things should move along very quickly now.
It's rather terrifying and exciting.
What are the three most stressful things a human can do (a privileged human, that is)? Move, change jobs, have baby?
Check, check, check. (I think extensive remodeling such as this involving 5 months of construction counts as akin to moving)
